Hello,
I think she is having edema and kidneys may be causing it. Probably a kidney infection such pyelonephritis may be causing it. She can wait until tomorrow morning.
She may need to do a total blood count with formula, biochemical blood balance, and urine analysis. Taking furosemide may be helpful to lower edema.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
