Poor Rangi. It sounds like she may be really sick! You can try some plain boiled skinless, boneless chicken and white rice to see if she will eat that. If she is unable to walk, then I would consider this an emergency and have her seen immediately. I hope this helps. Feel free to write back with more information about what is going on with Rangi so we can help more.
