Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If her temperature is low, it is important to try and bring it back up by placing her near a heat source (but not too close) and a heating blanket on top of towels so that it reduces the risk of burns to the skin from direct contact with the heating blanket. If she is not eating, you should administer 1-2 tsp of a sugar source such as honey or karo syrup and see if this helps. She may have low blood sugar. This also may be infectious and unfortunately the only recommendation for an infection would be to see a veterinarian for the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations. I hope this helps and that Maanu gets better soon! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
