Irati is exhibiting symptoms of illness. Lethargy and loss of appetite are non specific symptoms with many causes. To determine the cause, she should be examined by your veterinarian. She may need bloodwork and a fecal exam to reach a diagnosis. Supportive care may be indicated until she is eating and drinking on her own.
