Minnie Me may be very picky, or there could be something like a bad tooth, oral pain, or internal disease that is causing her to not want to eat. I would recommend that she be evaluated by a vet to see if there is an identifiable cause. If needed, they can prescribe appetite stimulants, but there are no OTC medications that will be effective for this purpose.
