I'm now a bit concerned that I may have caused her to aspirate coconut oil in my efforts to cure her; if I have it is probably not going to help recovery :-(

It's recommended to freeze it in a miniature icecube tray or just in a small dish so you can cut it into squares. She hopefully will be okay though!

Aww, I hope she's ok! Try giving it to her frozen so she doesn't aspirate!

She's still alive and I have continued force feeding her olive oil, hardened coconut oil, kefir yoghurt, red wine for a day but stopped that now, raw egg yolk as she wouldn't have it cooked, tuna mixed with kefir. She still smells from both ends! I was using Canestan cream on her behind and a little into her vent but now trying syringing in kefir as it is such a good anti-yeast food (successfully cleared up a human skin infection with it recently although 'patient' had to lie still for 30 mins) Next step will be Nystatin if I can get it or fluconazole. She's in a box by the stove and I have made her walk a bit today! The good news is that after one serious crop emptying 3 days ago she does produce some droppings even if not normal and I seem to be able to massage her crop to empty a bit. She won't starve to death but whether the outcome is good I wish I knew.
