Yes, it does sound like Cozi may be suffering from an allergic reaction. More than likely, it's a contact allergy from something in the environment. I would take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now. She will need antihistamines or steroids to stop the reaction, and a vet can prescribe them for her.
