This is a medical emergency, and Daisy has to see a vet now. It's extremely serious when a cat stops eating, as if they go long enough without eating (about 72 hours), they will develop a fatty liver. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment. If she has dental problems, that may be why she's stopped eating. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com Please take her into a vet immediately.
