An ultrasounds is a very good idea if she hasn't gotten any better.
Your vet can prescribe an appetite stimulant called Cyproheptadine that usually works. You can also pick up a nutrient packed canned food from the vet that is very tasty to cats and is very good for cats that have been sick. The one I am familiar with is Science Diet AD canned.
If she isn't eating, you will need to force feed her. Get a feeding syringe from the vet and water down canned food and feed her every 6-ish hours or so. She must have food in her or risks liver disease as KitKat mentioned.
Good luck and let us know what you find out. The appetite stimulant may help get food in her while you sort this out.
