Hi Alison,
I recommend that you take her into see a veterinarian as soon as possible. The diarrhea along with the other symptoms is concerning. There can be a few different causes for the symptoms incluiding intestinal parasites, infection, inflammation of the GI tract, or a more severe underlying medical issue. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of her symptoms after they have examined her. They may recommend some lab tests including a fecal test to help diagnose or rule out certain diseases. Sometimes a fresh fecal sample that you bring in can be used for this but some tests may require a collected sample. Your vet can recommend the treatment that she needs based on the underlying cause of her symptoms.
