My chinchilla was not her usual self and not eating. Send her to the vet and found she was bloated. Gave her some critical care and medication by the vet via force feeding but she still looks inactive.

What can I do currently?

How long does it usually take for the chinchilla to recover from bloatedness?
 
What medication were you given? You need cisapride, reglan, or both.
How are her poops?

Definitely get some simethicone and give a dropper full every few hours.

Keep feedings smaller and more frequet, since there is less room in her stomach for the food due to the gas.
