That does sound like Sunshine may be ill, however these are all very vague symptoms of illness rather than pointing to one thing. It is a good idea to bring Sunshine into your vet for an exam if these symptoms continue to rule out issues such as respiratory illnesses or underlying disease. In the meantime,keeping her in a warm hospital cage away from dirt and dust and with easy access to food and water may help keep her comfortable.
