I think the main issue is that ears down all the time, usually means they really are in pain. I have seen it before. Another sign is sitting hunched (but sometimes it is just one thing or the other). You can sometimes tell by a drawn look around the eyes as well - as if they are pulled back from the corners so eyes looking a bit slitty and slanty.

But ears down all the time says to me she is suffering and needs to be helped on her way. I would suggest taking her tomorrow (Monday) and being prepared to have her pts that day. Their instinct is to hide away and try to die but death can take a long time.
