I've been in similar situations before. Eventually, I had to tube-feed my boa a mixture of some fancy-schmancy dog food and something else (it's been a few years). Basically, I had a syringe attached to an 18 or so inch piece of lubed surgical tubing that I had to stick down her throat. This is definitely something you want someone with experience to show you if you end up having to go this route. Surely speak with your vet beforehand.
