Withhold food but allow small, frequent amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. No more than 2-3 tablespoons every hour. You can also give small amounts of NutriCal if necessary. It is a palatable, calorie dense paste that can be given to sick or weak pets. Keep her warm and as stress free as possible until she sees the veterinarian.
