Thanks to everyone who posted suggestions. Not wanting to take any chances with this little one, I took her to the vet. The vet believes that she is very stressed and dehydrated from this ordeal (we've only had her for two weeks). Also, she could have possibly been heated too quickly and/or overheated by the person who found her. It is possible that she also has a respiratory infection.
The vet gave her an injection of antibiotics and also administered oral fluids. She actually seems to be doing a bit better already. She has moved from her hiding spot to the warmer side of her enclosure (the temps range from 82 to 98 degrees) She was very healthy before all of this and we're hopeful that she'll make a quick and full recovery!
