Did you take her to the vet? thought you were going to get xrays? forcing her to eat can cause her to aspirate into her air sacs. Tube feeding would be best. @casportpony

@casportpony gives excellent instructions on how to tube feed them. Even for those who have never done it. She should be able to help you decide if it’s needed.

Have you tried making the food soggy so she can eat it easier? You could also try putting sugar in it to try to entice her to eat.
