could be a stomach bug. she has to eat something. Keep up the syringe feeding. you can check if she is eating on her own by counting kibble pieces in her bowl or measuring soups. If it's a bug she should be over it in 5-7 days, but if she refuses to eat at all she needs a vet. It's good that you have carafate on hand. It should be given at least 30 minutes before feeding. How old is Lucky? Ho is her behavior otherwise? good luck.

all my kids are doing well otter is getting real beefy feeling <winter weight?> and his coat is getting real soft not many noticeable changes overall,, new guy is getting big
Daxy is SO happy the weather is cooling off! He doesn't like the AC - it limits him to one room but when I let him go other places, he just flat ferrets cause it's too hote
