Could she have pick up some kind of metal? good idea to have her xrayed. please let us know how she is doing.Thanks for all the advice I really appreciate it. Just an update, ive given her her vitamin water and charcoal and she seems to have more energy now, shes been munching on tomatoes but was having trouble swallowing at first...so maybe theres something stuck in her throat...also she weighs next to nothing. Tomorrow we'll try to see if we can get her xrayed. But her saliva smells bad...
Glad she´s putting on weight, that´s a good sign. And eating, too...

What are her poops like? I don´t understand that she´s too weak for an x-ray..?
It does sound like she has something there that´s causing problems, though. Has she been checked for gape worm? Or maybe some string or something, a bit of plastic, that´s got caught in her throat or gullet that´s not hindering her food going down, but is still causing probs? Sometimes long grass can do this, it won´t pass through. She´s getting grit in her diet? Sorry, I may have asked these questions before, can´t remember, as I babble on on a few of the threads....
Are you in the USA, because most vets have Xray equipment set up to do animals. Maybe the vet could at least sedate her and look down her throat. If there is something there it might be easy to see and remove.
That's too bad they don't have Xray equipment, but light sedation may turn up something. Please keep us updated, and maybe try making her feed into a gruel where it's pretty wet by using Apple Cider Vinegar and warm water, it may go down easier and the ACV is a good antibacterial and all round tonic. Try a small amount first to see if she'll take it that way you won't be wasting it. You can maybe try 1 cup of feed to warm water and 2 teaspoons of ACV it can also be used in their drinking bucket 1-2 Tablespoons to 1 gal of water.
