Minnie went in for her spey today. When I picked her up from the vet at 6.30 they said it went well and she had eaten and was up and about but since i've been home (since about 7pm) she's just been lying down and hasn't touched anyy food/hay or water. I've read up on here the best things to try to encourage eating and drinking - putting some water in a bowl, putting in all her favourite foods, carrot (even grated carrot to make it easier), spinach and brocoli. She also has pellets in there too and plenty of hay, all close by so she doesn't even have to move. I've tried to get her to eat but she refuses to move or even open her mouth. I called the vet and she said its normal for them to not eat for a while, but there is no droppings or wee in her tray and she hasn't eaten for nearly 4 hours now. I don't know what is best. Is it normal for them not to touch a thing in this time? or shall I try and syringe some food/water into her - she really hates this and i'm normally very unsuccessful. Will she be ok if I wait until the morning before calling the vet if she hasn't eaten/drunk by then? surely she can't wait over 12 hours with no food or water?! Or do I stay up with her to try and tempt her to something? I'm really worried as I don't want her to deteriorate over night. She's lying down and hasn't moved at all.
