I'll try getting some tuna today. If nothing helps by tomorrow, then I'm calling the vet in the morning. She basically hasn't eaten since Sunday night.

If she'll eat off your finger, keep doing that.
I really don't want to scare you, but I did two weeks of this with Mille and eventually had to have her put down. We came to a point where we were giving her subcutaneous fluid injections to keep her fluids up, a pill to stimulate appetite (which she ended up being allergic to) and force feeding her. But we couldn't get enough in her to help. Vet gave us the option of putting in a feeding tube, but by then she already had a distended liver and her kidneys were shutting down. Doc said that only gave her a 10-15 percent chance of survival, even with the feeding tube. We decided to end her obvious pain and put her at ease.
The only thing we could get Mille to touch by herself was tuna, but she'd only eat a bite or two of that
if it was a good day.
