Cats that don't eat are at risk to develop fatty liver disease so she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause of her problem. Your vet can do a complete examination, run bloodwork, and take an x-ray, if needed, to help diagnose and then determine the best way to treat. She could have an infection, parasite, liver/kidney disease, diabetes, pancreatitis, dental disease, etc. Once diagnosed, your vet can prescribe medications to treat.
