fast her for a few days, raise temp to 30 C and add some salt. After a few days, feed her one pellet at a time. If she doesn't take it within 5 minutes, scoop out the pellet and try again tomorrow or later that day. Keep doing that until she swallows that pellet lol. It works for my flowerhorn.

Yeah, fast her. try and try until she finally eats. FHs are very hardy fishes so don't you worry if she doesn't take in food for weeks. I've heard of a case that lasted three weeks, but is now resolved.
