I feel bad for your daughter... Car rides to the vet can be enough to send them over the edge, but when they're that close to death they will die if you do nothing, so it's darned if you do, darned if you don't. Again, sorry for your loss. {{{{{hugs}}}}} to you and your daughter.

My vet was the one that suggested putting them in a warm room filled with steam and I have found it to be far less stressful for them than the bath.

She looks like she might be trying to lay an egg. If she were mine I would watch her very closely and if she didn't produce an egg I would check for one.
Checking for an egg is easy... Put on glove, KY Jelly, *gently* insert finger and check for egg. If it's there it can usually be felt no...
