Need help recovering after sickness

Have a gilt that looked great a month ago. She ended up getting sick and quit eating and lost her belly. She hasn’t eaten much since as I have tried everything to get her to eat. Finally think I have her eating good again after switching feed to moormans but now she is way behind schedule. My son is just in his second year of showing and I am new to all of it also. We have quite a bit invested in this gilt and I need to get a belly back on her ASAP. Thinking of adding purina heavyweight or soybean oil. Which is best for quick results? I have also heard that buttermilk will help put on weight fast. Any other supplements I should be adding? She’s pretty heavily muscled and very big boned. Any advice is appreciated.
