I would take her to the vet. Sorry to be harsh, but if she's not getting enough nutrition, she'll surely die. A vet can teach you how to tubefeed, if she's is not eating enough. She may get too weak to suck if she doesn't eat enough, she can get lethargic and start going down hill quick. If she get's too weak, she needs for the food to be literally inserted into her stomach as she gains strength enough to suckle on her own. It takes alot of energy from a tiny one. You have to watch for dehydration. You can do a pinch test on the neck skin. She may need to be sub q'd liquids if she is. Best of luck and prayers for your little one.
