You could def. try syringe water - or have you tried adding pedialyte or karo to her drinking water? Or add water to canned food? Did you try something carby - what about graham crackers?

My heart goes out to you - I so hope you get to the bottom of this.
Thank you for this link. I will read up and then I guess call around till I find a vet that does this??! My vet did not offer me this method when I asked about it, so my guess is they don't know about it or choose not to do it...
Very frustrating....

And I do have pedialyte here and karo. Is Karo better in her water than honey or sugar??
She has nibbled some more, off my fingers only, so I will be syringing calories into her shortly...
