Hello, I am sorry to hear about Daisy. Many of Daisy’s symptoms are not consistent with the dog flu, it tends to cause respiratory symptoms. How we, it is very hard to know for sure. Some of Daisy’s symptoms sound consistent with a UTI, this can cause increased urination and can make dogs feel unwell. If Daisy is very weak and not eating or drinking I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. The veterinarian can perform an examination and may suggest performing full bloodwork or urine testing. Hope this helps, good luck!
