Not eating properly for three nights????? 9 years old??? She'd be at the vets. Could be a lot of things but I'd think a competent vet would want blood work and would palpate her abdomen for any signs of a mass. And...would probably suggest spaying her once she is finished her season providing she passes a health check now.

She has eventually eaten it but this is not like her at all. She usually cleans her plate in seconds. Everything else seems to be fine. She runs around and seems happy but her not eating is very unusual. Last night she ate some cookies and then went and ate her supper but it was hours after I fed her supper to her. She just guarded it from her sister. Should I be worried about pyrometria do you think? She doesnt look or act sick but I know my dogs.
