I'm not sure there, you might try diluting it further still. I remember diluting it down to the faintest purple. Sugar might help. My dog Pikey seemed to really like the taste, however, he might have been so thirsty that any moisture would have perked him up.
But yes, if it is sour, it probably isn't diluted enough. My apologies for taking so long to respond, I didn't realize.edit on 8-6-2011 by Bobaganoosh because: (no reason given)

Our prayers go out to dear little Lucy.
We have seven rescue dogs and our
golden retreiver was also hit by a car.
She had a broken leg and was in a cast and
diaper for several weeks but managed to get
through it.As the owner and operator of a
family owned feral cat rescue organization
we have seen many horrible situations that our
cats and dogs have rebounded from that border
on the miracalous.Animals have an extremley
high threshold for pain and survival. With a lot
of tender loving care and prayer I know
that your precious Lucy will make a full recovery.

I realise you said you've already spent more than you have already..
However I thought I'd mention that since fluids and electrolytes are so important, you can buy lactated ringer bags from your vet and administer the fluids yourself, at home. A ringer bag costs $10, and the vet should give you a correct gauge needle to adminster subcutaneous fluids.
It might sound difficult to do, but it is incredibly easy, and it would at least save you the vet fees of having the vet do it at the clinic.
The needle goes into the loose bit of skin on the nape of the dogs neck. Then you basically sit there while the fluid goes in. It's easy.
Prayers for you guys too. All the best!
