If Lunox isn't eating again, I would let the vet that saw her know to see if she needs to come back in for additional care or fluids, or if there is a med that can help settle her stomach enough to get her eating. If she can't handle solids, some low-sodium chicken broth may help give her some nutrition. You can also soak the rice in it as well to give her an attempt at solid foods.
