Please help me or even just direct me to someone who can (i dont have lots of money but im willing to make payments) thank you for all you help  ~Ritaanne

Answer
Hi - I wonder if her blood sugar is very low - Hypoglycemic... Can you get some sugar into the side of her mouth or under her tongue.
It will hit her blood stream quickly -  Also, take a syringe and try to get some water into her.. Sugar and water...
YOU should see some good results in 10 minutes after getting the sugar into her.
GET her to the vet in the morning...OK
Sorry the vet wasn't very nice...but you don't have many choices , right?
BEST of luck
Marie
