Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Lilly's appetite has decreased, I would recommend having her seen by her veterinarian for an exam. There may be a medical reason why she is not eating very much- dental or oral disease, parasitic infection, kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, or other causes could all be possibilities. Lilly's veterinarian may want to pursue blood work or x-rays if needed in addition to a good exam. I hope this helps and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
