Thank you for the additional information. If you search the forum for the term "trazadone," you'll find several threads with mostly positive comments. Below are a few I read.

No, that is not my advice. I agree with you ("she is so skinny")--I would worry that not eating would cause serious problems, including hypoglycemia.
It doesn't sound as though the vet knows she is not eating, or not eating normally. That is a health indicator that I would want her vet to know about...would want his/her input about.
More to write, will wait to learn from you whether her vet knows she is not eating normally.
I'm sorry you and your little one are going through this. Thank you so much the love care you give to her. It is hard!
