        Is this a gas stove?! It sounds like a carbon dioxide problem or
possibly a small gas leak... quick! call the utility co and have it checked,
this can KILL everyone in the house in short order.
(worse is person says, "I don't feel well," goes to bed and essentially
suffocates)
        also take her to the vet...
 
Get the stove checked NOW and leave a window or two open a crack.
