Could you try some Carnivore Care? Call your vet and see if they have
any of it, or if they can call in a prescription to an area vet. (You
can only get this stuff from a vet)
My 2 had ECE 2 1/2 years ago- I brought them to the ER Vet in Boston,
and they gave them both sub-q fluids and amoxicillian. They also sent
me home with Carnivore Care for them- it has a lot of fluids and
electrolytes in it. They love the taste of it too! I would try to
see if you can get your hands on any. If not, baby food. Gerbers 2nd
stage chicken with chicken gravy or turkey with turkey gravy. You
might have to scruff her, put a dab on the tip of your finger and
force it in her mouth then wipe your finger on her tongue to get her
to start eating it.
Hope that works, or you can find the Carnivore Care!
