I would see if the vet can get you in today with this little girl. If you can not, please make sure that you keep her hydrated. YOu can give her some plain pedialyte by dropper...just make sure you go slow so it is swallowed and not inhaled into the lungs. Keep her warm and dry...you can use some extra bedding or a washcloth for added comfort. I wish you the best and hope she is ok :)
