Very long story short, Duchess had complications from her bacterial infection. Because she wasn't eating or drinking she declined VERY fast. She is such a tiny baby, it doesn't take much.
Today she is doing much better, running around and being very playful. Wish I had nearly as much energy! I think I need toothpicks to keep my eyes open.
The vet says we are not out of the woods yet. We have to wait until next week to do a few more tests to see if she has perminent damage to her intestines. But we are optimistic!
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and kind support

what good news ! (just now seeing this)
LadyJ - that was interesting about the 'sticky' gums - I always thought it was color that you looked at -
I hope Duchess will be completely ok and nothing permanent was done to her insides...you may want to research good / different food for her also....some on the market are just awful - but I'd ask the vet or opinions before just going out and buying something...
