At one point my Mali had the same symptoms. It turned out to be kidney problems, but there are other possibilities that aren’t as serious. Until you get him to the vet just let him soak in a warm bath and be sure his cage is warm enough for him. It is also important not to handle him more than you have to because chances are he has some discomfort. Keep us posted on how your little girl is doing!
