Based on what you are describing I would be concerned about your older dog. Not eating for two days in a dog as old as Bunty is very concerning. She is probably falling over due to weakness and dehydration. I would recommend taking her to your vet as soon as possible. Your veterinarian will likely want to run some laboratory work to see what is causing her in appetence. X-rays may be needed as well. She may need to be hospitalized with IV fluids for medication and support. I hope this helps. Best of luck with Bunty. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns about her condition. Best of luck.
