You are absolutely correct to be concerned!. Not eating coupled with her other behaviour symptoms is a serious sign.

Ultrasound for liver problems, unless done by an expert in liver shunt detection is almost useless to check for external shunts.

Usually a full liver panel blood work is done, then a specific BATS test is done. Then dependent about the specialist a scintography.

I would suggest it is time for the specialists to get involved. Ask for an internal medicine specialist referral, or take yourself to the best Veterinary Animal Hospital which has a team of specialists on board.

In terms of food, you can try so different things to entice her to eat. Try lamb, and sprinkle with a bit of parmesan cheese, add some cooked squash, or nice green beans, and some plain cooked rice.

In the long term she must be on a fully balanced diet, but she does need to keep her weight up. She has lost about 10% of her body weight.

If she is not eating, is she drinking water? Dehydration is a concern if she is not drinking water. Check her gums often. Should be pink and moist. Dry and pale means dehydration and an immediate vet visit.

Keep us posted And I hope you get to the bottom of what is bothering your girl.
