    Place her in a quiet warm area away from the others and do offer her water and feed if not eating scratch offer her other items she will eat. she could have a # of issues going on glad to read she will see a vet soon...

    Till you see a vet you won't know what is wrong, It could be serveral things including an infection. It is important that you don't just let her stand out in the cold if she is not moving about. I would recommend you keep her somewhere warm with food and water.
