Hello, sorry to hear about Yoda. Potential causes of this could include a severe UTI, liver disease, autoimmune disease, or kidney disease. It sounds like she should be seen by her veterinarian immediately to obtain some bloodwork and urine to rule these diseases out.

In addition to the bloodwork, she may need an abdominal ultrasound and could require hospitalization depending on what is found. Hope this helps and best of luck.
