It could be that Jules now has a respiratory infection. I would try gently warming up wet food for her to tempt her to eat, and you can add water to it to get more water into her. You can also try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. Definitely call the vet in the morning to make an appointment for her to be seen, as you do not want her to go long without drinking and eating. I hope this helps!
