Yay! This made my (very crappy till now due to work) day! I am sooooo happy your precious girl is feeling better. I hope she'll be back to her normal self by later today 100%.
Yeah the herbs thing is something I learned from the rescue I volunteer at when I first got there... apparently the herbs being well loved by bunnies and having a strong fresh appealing aroma can really stimulate appetite. The stems also are quite rich in fiber and help to get the gut moving and dill in particular has gut mobility properties. You can also rinse them and offer wet for extra hydration which also helps to recover from bouts of tummy issues.
Treats are a great way to check whether the bunny will eat anything at all. If refusing even favorite treats you know have a pretty critical situation on hand to get looked at by the vet ASAP... refusing favorite treats is usually a pretty bad sign. But offering treats to get bunny to eat anything at all (totally get this idea) can sometimes make tummy problems worse by introducing more sugar into an already upset tummy and disturbed bacteria in the gut. Just something to do with caution. But you could try to these digestive biscuits which lots of buns love and which can help promote a healthy digestive system https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Science-Digestive-Supplement-transition/dp/B007PZEBKS/ref=asc_df_B007PZEBKS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=218413592118&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3254896354315320360&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001881&hvtargid=pla-354901388116&psc=1.
Oh and keep those baby/infant gas drops I mentioned on hand... they are 100% safe to give to bunny anytime you feel tummy might be even a tad gassy via a small syringe and can sometimes save your buns life when a vet is not immediately available. Oh btw what an awesome vet to do a house call!!!
Oh and of course you are most most welcome! Wishing your girl a speedy and 100% recovery from all issues!
Throwing in my support for what everyone else has said.
Since you're looking for guinea pig products, I'll link you a few things that have worked for us.
Kaytee guinea pig kibble: My pigs love the little orange pieces in this food. Made with Timothy so it is lower in calcium. I never tried the Oxbow adult pellets you got, but I do have the young pig pellets. All the pigs love it so I'd say you got a good buy.

Treat wise I just got these two from Oxbow. Pigs absolutely loved it. Several of them tried stealing from each other. -_- I told them they only get one each! I also got some Critical Care just in case any of my pigs goes downhill and needs some just in case. Critical Care comes in 3 types: Original blend (coarser ground, green bag), Apple-banana (coarser ground, green bag), and Fine ground in a red bag (for syringe feeding). I got some Original and mashed some apple sauce and a little slice of banana in it. Pigs seemed to enjoy eating it out of a spoon. lol.

Word of caution about the Timothy. My family is allergic to timothy hay. I've heard plenty of stories about people giving away their guinea pig cause they were 'allergic.' I suspect many of the times the people were just allergic to the hay. If your family starts getting a bad case of the hay fever - think about switching to Mountain Grass/Orchard Grass.
Once you guys really start getting into guinea pigs and start considering cutting costs down by buying in bulk. Look for your local feed and grain stores. They'll have bales of hay, big bales of wood chips and other supplies. I get a bale of Mountain Grass for $20ish.
If you are looking for corrogated plastic and can't find any at your local hardware stores. Call local sign making companies. I recently had to buy two sheets of 4ft by 8ft. None of the hardware stores could help, but this sign company I called thought it was the most hilarious order! It wasn't a big thing for them since they get sheets every day. Perfect match! Being a piggy owner is a lot about improvising and thinking of creative solutions. Good luck!
