Hi, giving Reba’s age and the fact that she hasn’t been neutered, I suspect she could have an infection of her uterus-pyometra. I would recommend to have her checked over as if left untreated can cause sepsis with consequences on the kidneys and liver. Whilst with prompt treatment, prognosis is good. Hope she gets better soon ! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
