I would wonder if Princes might have an infection that is causing a fever. She also may have ingested something toxic or have a congenital problem that is just now affecting her. Unfortunately I think the only way you'll be able to determine what might be going on is to have a veterinarian examine Princes and recommend diagnostic tests and treatments. If she has a fever and signs of an infection they can prescribe medication to help.
