I Need MAJOR help

My little girl Yukina is extremely sick. I guess the first odd thing I noticed was about a week ago. She had what looked to be a small cut on her mouth. It was slightly swollen around it. I just assumed she rubbed it against something in her tank and left it at that. Yesterday she shed and with the shed the small cut went away. However I noticed her color was a bit more red and she scales more shiny around her nose and eyes. She had a few waxworms yesterday. Not too many, just her normal amount she gets. I came home today to see her curled up in a ball and asleep. Normally she gets up to greet me when I walk in the room but she didn't even wake up. I called her name, which normally wakes her up, and she didn't wake up. I picked her up because I was pretty worried by then. She only even opened her eyes (even after the loud clang of opening the tank) when I picked her up. Yukina is normally a big chubby girl however today she felt like she lost almost half her weight over night and her tail was all shriveled. I looked around her tank and saw vomit everywhere. I'm super confused as to what's wrong with her. Any suggestions on what to do or what's wrong are greatly needed right now. I'm really confused. Last night she was her fat happy self.

I did, everything's normal. I'm trying to get a vet now. I've never had to take one to the vet before.

She sprung back pretty fast. She regained the weight almost as fast as she lost it. I gave her some repta aid earlier and she got a bit more lively after that. I'm probably still going to take her to the vet.

I would take her to the vet just for your peace of mind. I almost didn't take mine because they were getting better but I am glad they did because they had pin worms and they have a infection of some sort. They got better in just weeks. You will never regret it! I have had them two years now. its been a year since it happened. I have raised them since babies. They were black and yellow. I love them. And now since then wont breed them. they are my babies!

My aunt is a vet tech and took a look at her last night. She said she's probably fine and it could have just been a bad waxworm because of how quickly she sprung back.
