Help! What action in less than a week?

I will try to keep this short.
My sister's ExH had my niece this weekend (she is 5). She has had some issues with UTIs and been to the dr several times including a specialist.
ExH is VERY aware that niece needs to be kept dry down there after going potty and she needs to be kept clean. There were some hefty dr./pharmacy bills from specialist. So he knows how serious this is.
When sister picked up niece and got home last night, she was wearing the same underwear and they were in a word ...NOT NICE. She hadn't been bathed since Thursday night. He gets niece after school on Friday till Sunday at 6pm.
Not only were her undergarments gross, her girl region was red as fire per sister and she is taking her to dr. this afternoon to test for UTI, etc.
ExH is scheduled to get niece this weekend, all next week and the following weekend, as it is her Spring Break and his year. Sister has NEVER kept niece from him, but doesn't know if she should call DSS (there are other health concerns at his house; excessive cat pee - niece comes home smelling to God awful every weekend she is with him) or does she need to go get some sort of emergency motion to where he has to clean up; address issues before she resumes his visitation.
What if anything can she do?

Thanks you guys.
She is crafting an email now and will see how it goes over with him. He is literally Bipolar so sometimes he takes things well, other times he doesn't seem to do as well and it can get ugly.
Here's to hoping it is a good co
