Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is unclear what is exactly going on with Sally. However, it does sound like Sally may be having gastrointestinal or respiratory issues, among other possibilities. This indicates a visit to a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible. They would be able to check on her to see what seems to be wrong so that this can be treated. Good luck and have a great day!
