Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on your description, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Chica so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. She may have an infection that needs medical attention. The sooner she is seen the better. If she has been having diarrhea, she may be dehydrated which would explain why she is not eating, if she is feeling lethargic / sick. 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.
