Olivia It is a slow process. Once you get a bit of food into Kokonuts, she will hopefully start feeling better. Keep feeding her small amounts at multiple times of the day, if you can. Ask the vet to give her subcutaneous fluids or to show you how to do it at home (t is pretty easy). She is probably dehydrated as well as not eating well. Good for you to get the Pedialyte into her - that is exactly what she needs - electrolytes - but with subcutaneous fluids, there is a much faster uptake of the fluids, body-wide, then if it is given orally.
See if her stool is coming out regularly. If not, consider asking the vet for Metoclopromide. As I mentioned in another post, FeLV often negatively impacts the intestinal tract and causes the stool to slow down. The Metoclopromide helps to empty the stomach and increases peristaltic action which moves the stool along and this makes the cat feel a bit better after a meal. I strongly suggest the Winstrol if nothing else but to increase appetite and feeling better. That boost alone will go miles to helping your cat fight this battle.
