Question

Answer
The only thing I can help you do is locate a vet that can see her today. SHe sounds as if she is pretty sick by declining food and water and the fact she is not using her back legs is not good either.
Try to get her to lick baby food from your fingers and give her fluids in a dropper or even let her lick it from a flat dish, but she needs antibiotics which of course you cannot buy over the counter antibiotics and must get them from the vet.

Please let me know your area so we can find a vet to get her to see. Without medical help I fear she may pass away.
