You did the best you could and you learned a lot for future situations. Sometimes, for all our efforts, it's not going to end well, but all you can do is your best. I'm sorry you lost her.

No, don't give her milk. Not the same thing at all. Yogurt has beneficial bacteria and is processed differently than milk. Milk will only give her diarrhea, most likely. And it has to be plain yogurt, not flavored with sugar in it, just plain, active culture yogurt. It's just something in which...
