Hello,
Your description is indicative of worm infestation, please, get her checked for the same. If she has an evening rise of temperature along with the loss of the weight, then check for tuberculosis and other possibilities.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ratna Mulay
