I don't mean to be a pest but I thought of something else. The vet had me take small blankets, clothes, towels, etc. and warm them in a microwave and wrap her in them when she was cold. Also soft fleece holds warmth better than some of the things the vets have in their cages. Get the really soft fleece and keep her bundled to help her hold her own heat. When and if you use the microwave, make sure you do not have hot spots and that it is only warm. Use a small amount of time until you figure out what works the best for you. Be careful, when you heat cloth, it usually has little mositure and will catch fire if setting is for too long. The mositure is what absorbs the heat and makes the material feel warm. Even a dry towel has some mositure. I am a retired middle school science teacher sorry if I get over.....
