I'm really sorry to hear about poor Rachel. It sounds like her condition is very bad and she should ideally be on IV fluids and at an animal hospital. I would ask your vet if they could do this whenever they are available again, because otherwise there is not much you can do for her. However, it is possible for her to recover. Make sure she has a warm, quiet place to rest for the moment and have water available in case she can drink again. I hope you can get to the vet soon and Rachel recovers from this well.
