Thank you for submitting your question regarding Yuki. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian. She needs a good examination and possibly bloodwork and fecal testing to determine if there is an illness contributing to her inappetance. Based on these results, her veterinarian can prescribe treatment if necessary. She may also require a dental cleaning under anesthesia and extraction of any diseased teeth. I hope this information helps!
