Unfortunately, these are very general symptoms having multiple causes. A physical exam would be needed to diagnose the underlying cause. If she is feverish or painful, have her seen at the nearest veterinary ER tonight. Given her age, a pyometra (uterine infection) is unlikely, but should be ruled out anyway since it can become an emergency. You can try warming her food slightly or mixing in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate the appetite. If she is behaving normally otherwise, you may be able to have her seen by your veterinarian in the morning.
