Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on your description, I would have the sick / affected cat(s) examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. There may be something infectious or something they all were in contact with. I hope this helps and that she gets better soon! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please remember to rate this answer as helpful or not. Thank you!
