Maybe you could add something to the water shed like the taste of?
Honey, sugar , strawberry syrup??
Maybe spend a few hours if you can holding her and giving water every few mins to make sure dye gets some inside her
It will make all the difference if you can hydrate her
 
Do you have a neighbor that has cattle or livestock that may have Corid for scours treatment in cattle? A friend with chickens also could have it. I like the liquid for ease of dosing, but powder or liquid doesn't matter. Sulmet or sulfadimethoxine are some others you may find from a friend that would work in a pinch. Is she having any diarrhea or blood in her poops?
 
Here is a recipe for electrolytes, and Pedialyte or SaveAChick works well.

HOMEMADE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION
1/2 teaspoon salt substitute*
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 gallon water
*Salt substitute is readily available in most stores in the spice aisle near the salt, but if you do not have it, don't worry, the solution will still have most of the benefits intended to combat heat stress.
 
Oohh good idea I think I have molasses but can pick up raw honey tomorrow
