If it is "on the edge" of dying, repotting would only make it worse..
(unless there is something wrong with the media itself)
But if the media is fine, then leaving it alone would be the best option..see if it recovers.
Whats the background on the plant?
Did it have a winter dormancy but not come back this spring?
where has it been growing the past few years?
Do you think the media is ok? what is the media?
and how long has it been since the last repotting?

Oh, how I hate squirrels. They're ruthless monsters who'll dig up your pots just to hide nuts. Roman Tyrant has stated that he wards off squirrels by hiding his pots behind a ring of cacti. Anyhow, if your plant's roots were mangled by squirrels, your plant is in shock. It's that simple and it has the classic symptoms: leaf damage. (It happens in almost any kind of shock--heat, cold, light, etc.) If you grow your plant well it should recover. The only problem is that you've said your plant has no green leaves left. Let's hope your plant has enough stored food to come back.
By the way, does your plant have any growing leaves?
There are no growing leaves at the moment...
Ok The plant is a purp venosa I got 2 years ago from a lowes deathbox. It has successfully gone through both dormancies. At one point last year it was extremely healthy and had many large pitchers. This year I have seen two pitchers and a flower stalk come up but due to squirrels all were broken off. I did pull it up ( i guess ignorantly ) about a week ago and it was still alive with roots. I planted it in the same spot with a tiny bit more of the plant exposed as it was completely buried before. now the exposed parts (what was left of the flower stalk and other 2 pitchers) are brown. For the first year it was in my front yard (6 hours direct sun) and for the second year it was on the back porch (3 hours of direct, yea i know its low, but It still grew vigorously). The media is absolutely fine. I have a happy sarracenia ladybug, sarracenia flava seedlings, a drosera rotundifolia, and a flytrap in the same pot. All are very happy. For the past 2 years it has happily grown in the same pot until squirrels messed with it. Theyve even completely dug it up at one point this winter,destroying all pitchers and most roots. I replanted it then, and it was coming out of dormancy fine... until the squirrels came back.
There are no growing leaves at the moment. I did figure out how to keep squirrels away though. If you put steaks wherever there are plantless spots the squirrels will not bother the pot altogether.
In my yard putting "steaks" in the pots will encourage crows and other critters that enjoy meat to come raid the pots.
Anyhow, are the plants doing any better?
Squirrels are a problem with CPs? I'm fortunate indeed! I have a state of the art area denial system in place which has denied squirrels access to my property. I have a large tree in my yard that has been a nesting spot for squirrels since we got the place....
