It sounds like Cheeky is straining to produce the diarrhea. A lot of time this accompanied by urgency, an increased frequency of defecations and potentially blood in the stool. Assuming she is acting normal otherwise and not having blood in her stool, it would be ok hold food for 12-18hrs (while providing water). If resting her GI tract does not help or she is acting sick, then I would recommend she sees her veterinarian. Fecal testing will likely be recommended or potentially a diet modification. Good luck!
