I have seen a few large older females do that. I don't have a silver bullet for you though. It's a very strange thing. I can't remember if any of them started eating again eventually. It's been a long time since I have had one do it. More than ten years. Just thinking out loud. Perhaps a live rat and the thrill of the kill would get her to eat it after she does the deed. Or maybe if you give a dose of Phlagyl she'll get a better appetite and start eating again. I would not give more than 50 mgs/kg.

Good luck with her!
