"zing" and may coax the problem eater out of its problem.
If the problem is serios and you cannot see your veterinarian immediately, force feeding may be necessary to provide the calories, nutrients, and water necessary for survival. Strained baby foods, soft-boiled eggs, raw egg yolks whole milk, and boiled chicken are good sources of calories and protein. You can also try feeing your pet's regular food by hand: Place a small amount of food on the roof of your dog's mouth with your finger, a spoon, or a tounge depressor.
Note: Force feeding is
not to be used instead of a veterinary visit. It should be used in coordination with professional care.[quote]
I got that from this site:

Try feeding her the chicken and raw egg if you cant get her to the vet right away. Pedia-lite, the unflavored one, is also excillent for preventing and helping with dehydration. So if she's also not drinking, or having diarreah that wouldn't be a bad idea.
As far as leaving her crate, my Kendra had a litter a week ago and she will only leave her litter for at most 5-10 minutes at a time. It's part of their instinct and not unusual.
Good luck and keep us updated.
