Thank you for submitting your question regarding Clementine. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian, today if possible. It is worrisome that she is refusing to eat and drink normally. Depending on her age, different diseases are more likely. Kittens are prone to respiratory tract infections and as well severe GI infections. Middle age cats are more likely to develop thyroid disorders, while older cats tend to suffer kidney problems. Of course there are other possibilities as well. Blood work and urine testing are common diagnostic tests. Her veterinarian will decide on testing and treatment options based on her exam findings. I hope this information helps!
