I'm sorry to hear Budda is not well. Unfortunately, she sounds quite ill if she has not eaten for 5 days and there are no home remedies for you to try. She will need to see a veterinarian to be examined and to have medication prescribed. There are many reasons she may be ill including toxin exposure, infection, GI upset, etc. so it's impossible to say what Medication may help her without doing a physical examination. Budda may need IV fluids and hospitalization under the care of a veterinarian.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Budda gets the care she needs and is feeling better soon!
