I am very sorry to hear about Sky. It definitely sounds like she needs veterinary care. It sounds like she has a wide variety of symptoms that could be associated with a multitude of causes. She could be not eating and drooling due to nausea, or if she has a respiratory infection it could be difficult to eat if she is congested, or she could have a dental issue such as an infected tooth. I would get her to a vet as soon as possible. A good physical examination and history may help the vet narrow down possible causes and guide their testing and treatment recommendations. Best of luck with Sky.
