Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It sounds like she is having a lot of issues right now that need veterinary evaluation and treatment. I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to take a look at all these abnormalities you described so that therapy can be recommended accordingly. Good luck!
