>>Not much the vet can do. My suggestion: Wait another week, then feed her a mouse tail or half a pinky. The fact that either one is cut open is important, as the digestive enzymes can work more quickly on exposed meat than skin.

I was going to say the same thing as far as cutting it open. I'd feed a very small meal and make a few slices in it so it's easier to digest. Personally I'd be more comfortable waiting longer than a week, but you'll have to make a judgment call depending on how emaciated your snake is at that point. Rehydration is very important right now, and if you can get some electrolytes back in the snake's system that would be a big help. Maybe try mixing gatorade, pedialite, or something else with the water but you may have to dilute it a good bit so the smell/taste isn't very strong. Good luck.
