Hi just another thought - if piggie stops eating you would need to
replace the 'salts' she is losing with rehydration sachets  - ask vet.
Loss of sodium and potassium is the main prob - salt 'licks' ( for
sodium) are often accepted as an emergency measure and banana is high
in potassium if she will take it.
Remeber she is a fighter and judicious management of the problem may
get you through.
