Poor Rosie. I see she isn't spayed, and I would be concerned her symptoms could be caused by a pyometra. A pyometra is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. I would take her into a vet now to get checked out.

    Lilly sounds pretty sick, and I see that she isn't spayed. Her symptoms could be due to a pyometra, which is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. You need to take her into a vet immediately.
