Leaves Falling Off of Lemon Tree

Question

A few months ago my mom got a dwarf lemon tree as an indoor container plant. All was going well; it was blooming and started to fruit. All of a sudden it started to shed its leaves and fruit. Now even though the branches are green and 2 limbs are still blooming. What do we do to ensure the health of the plant?
