Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I am sorry to hear that she is not feeling well. I would recommend offering her plenty of canned food options and cooking homemade meals with chicken, salmon, tuna or beef to see if she will eat. Depending on the problem, the decreased appetite could be due to pain, nausea or lack of appetite due to disease. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate treatment recommendations can be made. If she is dying, then palliative care worth anti nausea and pain medications may help the appetite temporarily. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
