I don't know if it would work, but there are some taste deterrents that you can apply directly to the body.  It would all depend on how she reacts to bitter apple.  There's also a bitter lime.  Are the food/water dishes glass/ceramic/steel?  Plastic is a no-no as I'm sure you know - exacerbates kit
