Is she taking any fluids? Tempted one of ours with a small bowl that I held close to her which she managed to drink from when she didn't want any foods. I know you have to use a syringe as a last resort, but it's still a little stressful for them (and us!)

She has been drinking a little and we saw her eating a small amount of food this morning which is better than nothing I suppose :)
All lives are precious.

I realy hope that she will be ok. It is heartbreaking when they are sick but you are giving her lots of love and doing everything that you can. Good luck.

And we are travelling to a surgery where the vets know what they're talking about, so hopefully they'll be able to help her :).

You did your very best for her and she could not have asked for more. :(
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

Sorry to hear than Pretty Chick.  It's sometimes for the best and you did your best for her.
