Furthermore, the belly is really soft, a bit like a sponge, to the touch and I can feel some "lumps" underneath. The cloaca is really visible, and you can see the hole if you pick up the tail a bit.
Do you have an emergency vet that will take walk-ins? I hate to be pessimistic, but it sounds like you are losing her.
