Flo won't eat

HI all,
Flo has turned her nose up at her food this morning, and if I try to feed her by hand she pushes it away. She doesn't look very happy either and this is totally out of character for her. How long should I leave it before ringing the vets? Please help am very worried, sam.

I'd call the Vets as soon as you can and get her seen this morning.

Has she poo'd overnight ?

Try offering her some Dandelion leaves.
 
Best to get her checked by your vet asap.

Meanwhile, can you get her to move around a bit as that can help to get things moving, also as Jane said some extra fluids.
 
She has started to eat now, she has had parsely, broccoli and her pellets. Shes also had some water. Still waiting for her to poo though. Do you think she still needs to go to the vets or shall we just keep an eye on her?
 
That is good news.

As she is now eating, get her to move around as this can help stimulate poops. If she is then eating and pooping, you may just want to keep a close eye on her and then take her to the vet if it changes.

I think I would probably take to vet to be on the safe side as it is the weekend and not all vets are open after midday today.
 
Thank you for your help. She has had a couple of poos, although they are smaller than normal. She is now running around the house so I think she is feeling much better!
