She could be in heat, but in an older dog that is not spayed and showing signs of illness, my concern is always pyometra (a life-threatening infection in the uterus). I would recommend that you have Midnight examined by a vet ASAP. If they determine it is a pyometra, she likely needs emergency surgery.
