that sounds scary as hell, I hope you can find an answer!

it sounds kind of horrible but it's not and it works (for all mammals, including humans).
have a tube of glucose gel handy, the drugstores here sell them over the counter. if your vet can give you a feeding syringe that'll make this easier.

give her a few moments for the glucose to be absorbed; repeat if needed. never give anything by mouth in this situation as they will choke.
