I've ran into this problem a couple times. I visit all the stores in our area that I can drive to in a reasonable amount of time and try to find bags with the same expiration date as the one they were eating. I've also posted on mailing lists when a food is discontinued in our area asking for others to check their stores, then if they find it they send me the prices and I pay for the bags plus shipping. This works for discontinued foods but for your little one, others would need to know the expiration date.
You might try moistening a little of the food with warm water to bring out more of the aroma and hand feeding piece by piece to get her started. This has worked for us on occassion.
I do have a tiny bit left (I add it to their treat mix) from my last bag. I don't know if it would be the same as what you had but I'd be happy to send it to you to try if you'd like. Email me privately if you want me to send it. sprite@ksu.edu
hugs to all. tle
