Lovely Betty! If she is not interested in food and water just for few hours I wouldn’t be worried. Continue to monitor her and if she looks lethargic, the inappetence continue or she start showing any other symptom (vomiting, diarrhoea, vaginal discharge,...) I would suggest to bring her to the vet. Please post again in the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope the answer was helpful.
