I am wondering if she is nauseous? Is she on medication? Did you call the vet and see what he thinks?
I have spoon fed sick dogs chicken/rice baby food, and even though it’s not considered a good food, they seem to like Mighty Dog, the smooth chicken type, it comes in small cans.
I am glad she is drinking water, yes, some dogs have a tougher recovery (after surgery) than others.
But, I would not hesitate to consult with her vet, especially if she goes 72 hours without solid food.
If all else fails, I have never seen a dog refuse a little boiled chicken, or, I know it’s bad, but, supermarket rotisserie chicken (just a bite)….. to jump start the appetite.
It also depends on whether the pancreatitis is acute or chronic? Have the vet clarify how careful you have to be with her diet. Sometimes, it is more important to just find something they will eat, as they recover.
