ok I am familiar with that, it's reglan, I had to use that for a diabetic cat
It seems you may have read this:
Megacolon – Rat Guide
is that correct? you have read it?
does your breeder have a policy where they take back their rats?
that is one option.
Also surrendering your rat to a rescue is an option, assuming they have openings, they will provide care, which in this case may be euthanasia
I'll be honest with you, it does not look for your little girl- but you can try this Facebook group, they may have seen this before and may have some ideas.

without proper treatment she will die a terrible death and even with treatment, it's hard to say how she will do.
personally I would not try to give that rat an enema
I would not try to introduce anything into her rectum it's just too swollen.
the vet you saw seems honest and reliable, I would call them again and ask them if there's any chance that giving those meds will harm your girl (they said they did not see a blockage, and I would believe them about that)
tell them you are nervous, you think it might hurt her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~JUST now seeing your reply
OK as far as the warm water, all I did was fill a shallow bowl with warm water, check to be sure it's not too hot and I sat her down in it
she did try to get out once but then she seemed to like the feel of the water and stayed there
She stuck poop came out followed by more soft stool
but again she had a TUMOR for sure, we knew this.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO Push or put any pressure on her anus. You could really hurt her and cause bleeding and pain and injury.
Your rat does not appear to have a tumor, she seems to have something else going on, Kaia and I are thinking it is megacolon and that is not easy to treat
Many rats with megacolon have much shorter lives than normal
your rat seems like an esp bad case to us, I am sorry to say
But if you post in the Real Rat Lovers Want to Know forum with your photos and the full history, they may see something we are not.
