Cookie sounds very ill at the moment. Her symptoms are non-specific and could be caused by a lot of different things such as GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or a pyometra. I think she seems sick enough to see a vet now, and I strongly urge you to take her into one immediately. Best of luck.
