Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry Luna is not feeling good enough to eat or drink. If this has been going on for more then 24 hours, I would take Luna to a veterinarian to get checked out. There could be a medical reason behind disinterest in eating and drinking. If you just got her or just adopted her, sometimes it takes a day for them to adjust to their new home environment and may not eat or drink much for the 1st 24 hours after being brought home. However, I would see a veterinarian if Luna has been disinterested in eating or drinking anything for more than 24 hours as this could indicate a medical problem. I hope this helps and bet wishes to you and Luna!
