Answer
Hi
Dont give her any lettuce.
Try her with some fresh grass and hay.
Cook some carrot,mash them with a fork and offer that.
Try to get some DIORALITE and a 1ml syringe from the chemist and make it up.
Offer her this on a teaspoon but if she wont take it, use a 1ml syringe and syringe the fluid into her mouth sideways.
The main thing is to get fluids and salts back into her system.
Get back to me as soon as you have tried this and we can take further action
