Hi Ash

yes there is one thing you can do to help her. Take her to see a vet as soon as possible. her symptoms suggest something is very wrong but in many cases a vet can help. it is impossible for me to say exactly what is wrong with her, it is likely that she will need some blood tests to find this out. She may have thyroid problems, heart problems, blood problems, the list could go on and on and only tests will be able to help diagnose her and then to properly treat her.

Please do not delay, the sooner you see a vet the sooner she can be helped.

best wishes Kate
