My female mastiff woke up this morning and I did take her out and she peed. When she came back in she doesn't want to eat is has just been sleeping. She hasn't whined in any pain

Poor Kya! If she isn't interested in her food, she may be having some digestive upset. You can try offering a bland meal of boiled chicken and rice to see if she'll eat that. If she doesn't seem interested in food at all for more than 24 hours, has other symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, has a badly bloated stomach, or seems extremely lethargic or ill, a vet visit is best to rule out any more serious issues.
