UPDATE: We brought Violet in for a warm bath, she tolerated it pretty well. Her breathing seemed a little better, the warmth probably helped. She continued to drink water, and cleaned up a bit. I tried to feel for an egg but didn't really feel anything alarming. After spending some time close to her, she seems to have a little wheezing when she is breathing. Her nostrils are clear. We are keeping her inside tonight with one of her sisters so she doesn't feel all alone. I will monitor her throughout the day tomorrow, but I'm thinking it's respiratory related. We will see how she is doing on Monday and I will make a decision on a trip to the vet at that time.
Here is a video of her and her sister Hazel. It's a good side by side comparison to look at the breathing. Violet is on the top (Lighting isn't that great for a video but I wanted a nice calm light for her to relax)
