Hi,

We are a bit worried about Fern as she is off her food, she wouldn't even eat any dried banana which she goes crazy for.

We have had to leave her today, she had done a couple of poops overnight, but she still isn't interested in her food.

If she hasn't eaten her food by the time we get home then I think we will have to take her to the vet - but any suggestions as to what might be wrong? She seems ok in herself in every other way
 
It sounds as if her tummy is slowing down, which can be really serious. If she's not eaten or pooped soon, I'd take her to the vet.
 
definately a vet trip :wink: it could be statis or teeth problems but either way, she really needs to see a vet asap :)
 
My rex didnt eat for a day and seemed bright enough. Next morning he was rasping and has a respiratory infection. It came on very quickly. I have a thread running with his progress. Very glad I took him to the vet yesterday and brought him in from the cold.
Hope all goes well
Louisa
