Poor Chula! It sounds like she is not feeling terrible. Any pet who is not eating beyond 48 hours needs to see the veterinarian. Just like people, there are many conditions that can make pets feel sick. This could range from bacterial over growth to intestinal blockage. Also like us, diseases are best addressed early and this may result in a better prognosis. I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian today. The doctor will need to learn the underlying cause in order to give appropriate treatment. Bring in a stool sample in case the doctor needs to test it. I hope Chula starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions!
