Hi, I'm Dr. Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry Jasmine is sick! The normal temperature for a dog rectally is 100-102. So I do not think Jasmine has a fever. Regardless it sounds like she isn't feeling well. There are many reasons why a dog suddenly won't eat. I see that Jasmine is an older dog and you mentioned she is having trouble walking. She may be in pain or be suffering from a neurologic problem. Other causes for not eating are liver/kidney problems or other metabolic issues; an upset stomach from a virus, a food sensitivity or pancreatitis; or even cancer. Due to her age and the fact that it has been 2 days I recommend you have her evaluated by your Veterinarian. Based on their exam they may want to do blood work and or X-rays. I wish Jasmine good luck!
