Oh no, poor Mollie! I would try to tempt her to eat with some boiled white meat chicken and white rice in small amounts. You can also try giving her a little bit of cheese. If she still refuses to eat this, then I would take her into a vet right away. You are correct she does need to eats and she may need veterinary treatment to help.
