Sick Carpet

I have a Female carpet that's been off feeding for 2 or 3 months. Any suggestions on how to get her to feed?

A. She may have an RI or an infection that is keeping her from wanting to feed.

B. If your temps are really cold and the heat hasnt been running 24/7 she may be cooling for breeding.

I had a female that did this to me after a minor RI. Didnt touch anything till the 4th month.

Update. I had to have her put down. The vet said that her central nervous system had shut down to the point of her not being able to use her tongue. Anything else would just be starving her.
