You will need to take your dog to a veterinarian for an exam. Your dog could have a n intestinal blockage, a gastrointestinal or other infection, an organ disease, or even a blood parasite. Not eating is a very unspecific signs of illness and you need a diagnosis to be able to treat him. Please take your dog to a veterinarian.

    A dog not eating for 7 days is a huge problem. I would be worried about an intestinal obstruction, a toxicity or some type of problem with the liver or kidneys. The vet needs to do some blood testing and x-rays. You need to get her back to the vet. You can't fix this at home.
