Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Inappetence and abdominal pain can be observed with gastrointestinal disorders like dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, among other possibilities. I recommend that you take Bella to your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Bloodwork and abdominal imaging are likely going to be recommended. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck!

    Hello, The symptoms you described are concerning for disease of the intestines, liver, pancreas or even kidneys. Further diagnostics including bloodwork and an abdominal ultrasound will be needed to make a definitive diagnosis. Follow up with your veterinarian for an exam and discuss diagnostics and diet.
