Hi - Welcome to YT! I

just wanted to ask you if you have her on a feeding schedule? Or do you free feed? The best way to get her to eat is to put the food down at a scheduled time a couple of times a day. Leave it there for 15-20 minutes - if she doesn't eat - pick it up until the next feeding. They won't starve themselves. The only time I wouldn't do this is if she was itty bitty. Plus... this helps will help with the potty training. Watch her after she eats and write down what time she poops. Keep track of it for a few days and then you'll have an idea of what time and how often she needs to go.
