I'm very sorry to hear this, she did look very ill in the photo, it looked like it would have been very difficult to bring her back to health.
What might be useful for future reference, or anyone reading this who needs to care for ill reptiles, useful medications are critical care formula and reptoboost. The critical care provides protein to prevent muscle wasting and gives an energy boost, while reptoboost helps to hydrate with electrolytes, as well as gives further nutritional support and replenishes gut flora to help encourage appetite. This can be administered via syringe or gavage fed.
Although I understand that with poor Fern she looked very far gone, bless, and you tried your all and did everything right.
