Dr. Rachel · Accepted Answer

Decreased appetite and lethargy can be caused by a number of things. Possibilities include pancreatits, gastroenteritis, foreign body ingestion, infection, toxin exposure, or other diseases such as liver or kidney disease. It is really hard to say which of these is most likely without doing a physical exam of Chichay and having a more in-depth discussion. Because she isn't feeling well, I recommend that you take her to a vet as soon as possible. Bloodwork and possibly abdominal x-rays would be a good place to start in ruling out some of the above possibilities.
