Yes, I would have Sira seen by a vet for these symptoms. She could be suffering from a respiratory infection, which the vet can diagnose and treat. I can give you something to try at home as well that may help with her symptoms. If she's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections.
