HELP! Theres something wrong with Smudge!

Just checked on her. She's continuing to stand, has her tail down, and seems to have stopped dripping. No decline, still reacts to my pets and voice. I cleaned up her backside, and it doesn't look like she's straining as if to pass an egg, just pulsing, which very well may be because I'm lifting her tail. Thoughts?

Symptoms-

Tail down
White/wet stool on backside
Blindness
Loss of, then recovery of leg strength/use
Pulsing vent (may be because I'm lifting her tail
 
I'm sorry she's not doing well:(

Can she open her eyes?
Do they look dilated or odd shaped?

I think you are doing what you can for her. Keep working on getting fluids into her.
She is keeping her eyes open for the most part now. Closing them periodically. Her pupils are a normal round shape, but very large. I believe I would call that dilated. Not entirely sure what to look for when checking for dilation though.

She's also putting her head up, closing her eyes, and bringing it back down and opening them periodically. This motion happens slowly, she keeps her head up with eyes closed for about 20-30 seconds.
She's also breathing with her mouth opened if that counts for anything. Thank you everyone, I hope I can get her back to her normal self soon. 😔

Good news, she's is drinking some water on her own, and some when I dip her beak and guide her.
 
She just flopped on to her side with her legs stretched out behind her. She's breath gin really fast, open mouthed, and uncoordinated. I tried to bring her back into a sit-in position, but she refuses to keep her legs underneath her. Anyone have nay ideas as to what I can do? Calcium does't seem to be helping, and I just took her out of the bathroom so I could monitor her. I think I'm gonna try the flush, something has to give.
How should I do the flush? Administer it, make it? I found information for geese, but thats if the bird is drinking, she isn't drinking much on her own. How much should she drink?
 
Just gave her about a tablespoon of the activated charcoal using the recipe fro this article- https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/flushes-for-aiding-in-toxin-removal.700526/
Hoping it helps.

Her face is also super warm. She's also panting and holding her wings away from her body, which are also symptoms of overheating. Any suggestions? @azygous @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive

Edit: She isn't standing anymore, and lays her legs out behind her. I'm concerned about what I'm going to do when it gets late. I can set her up in a kennel in the bathroom, but I'm horrified as to what I might find in the morning. Thanks everyone, I'll keep you updated.
 
I just came inside from grabbing the kennel from the garage, and found her flopped with her neck in an uncomfortable position, and heard with wings flapping. She craned her neck a few times, and I pick her up can set her back in the box. She's panting very quickly, and clearly over heating, eyes closed. I she's sitting up right now, uncoordinated and not using her legs. I think she's dying. She also has "water" in her mouth and in her nose. I don't think she's gonna make it.
I don't know what else to do.
