Stress can contribute to a tummy upset. I wouldn't add anything to her regular diet ever if she's prone to having digestive issues when you do that. She should eat, drink and eliminate this morning after fasting for a day.

Her gums should be pink and moist, not pale and sticky. That could mean a drop in blood sugar and dehydration. Giving her a small amount of Nutrical would be okay and may help to stimulate her to eat. If her gums remain pale after giving the Nutrical, she should go to the vet. If she's not acting right, she should see the vet.

Could she have gotten into anything? Are her toys and chews all accounted for? If her tummy is hard and distended, she may have a blockage, and would need to see the vet.

If she doesn't eat this morning, it would be wise to have a vet take a look at her. I usually call first thing in the morning and make the appointment for early afternoon, and if mine don't improve by that time (acting fine but still not eating), we go. If they eat and drink and act fine, I call and cancel the appt.

Hope she's feeling better today...
