Use a syringe to get some water into her and see if that makes her feel better and will begin. If she is not eating, also use a syringe to give her some nutrical.

I have started heating up her cat milk and she's taking asmall bowl everyday and she seems a lotperkier so thanks guys!![]()
Have you tested her to see if she is hydrated enough?
Gently pull a bit of skin up on the back of her neck and let it go. If it goes back into place right away, she has enough liquid. The slower it returns to normal, the more dehydrated she is.
Glad to hear she is perkier!![]()

Hi, I agree that milk is not a great option for a cat. I'm wondering if it could have something to do with the water itself. You could pick up some bottled water at a convenience store and put that in a dish and see if your cat goes for it.
As someone else mentioned, the dish used can really make a difference. Cats generally don't like their whiskers to touch the edges when they are eating or drinking. Plastic dishes may effect the taste of the water so you might want to switch to ceramic if you haven't already.
The suggestion catlady posted about adding water to wet food is something I do, just to make the wet food stretch since I have a few cats and it can get pretty expensive. They really seem to prefer the 'soupier' supper, especially if it is the cat tuna.![]()
You could also try to put her bowl in a different place, some cats won't drink next to their food bowl. Or use a glass for her water.
Good luck!
