If she's aggressive/defensively striking the food it sounds like she's probably stressing out with all the assist feeding / antibiotics to be honest! As a 1500g adult she isnt going to suffer from periods of not eating, so as long as temps and everything else are up to scratch imo your best bet is to stop the force feeding and only try a normal frozen/live/whatever you do every 7-10 days and hopefully she might chill out and start eating properly again. From my experience, the temptation to chase her round the tub with a dead rat every night tends to only make things worse!
Have had a 1000g female not eat for 10 months, tried everything and one day she just decided to eat again. She only lost about 100g in weight over that time. BPs are annoying as hell when it comes to eating, just dont let it frustrate you, hunger strikes are VERY common.
