Try massaging her stomach to see if that can help her gut moving. Quite a few members give simethicone drops to help with gas pain. In the meantime, I’d keep trying to hand feed her to get her to eat a little. Is she still pooping and peeing?

Did the vet do a dental exam to make sure it's not her teeth bothering her?

If she's still not eating very well, you will need to start syringe feeding so she doesn't develop Gastrointestinal Stasis. You should be able to make a feeding mush from her pellets, by soaking in warm water and stir with enough water to make a pudding like consistency. Then use a wide tip feeding syringe to syringe it slowly into her mouth. Only a little bit at a time, giving her time to chew and swallow each little mouthful. You just don't want to syringe the food in too fast and risk aspiration occurring.

The feeding amount is around 8-12ml of feeding mix, per kg of body weight. And this needs to be done 4 times a day(about 6 hours apart).
