Poor Cheska! This could be several different things like an issue with her having low blood sugar, a liver shunt or liver disease, parasites, an infection and much more. I would strongly recommend to force her some nutrical 3-5 times per day. Nutrical is a high calorie vitamin supplement that helps to keep the blood sugar up. If you don't have any right now, I would give her some honey or karo syrup now and try to get some nutrical from a pet store ASAP. Also, since she is so small, I would strongly recommend to have your vet take a look at her. Your vet will likely do a fecal and some blood work to help figure out what is causing her to feel better and then start her on the proper treatment plan to make her feel better. I hope this helps!
