My fur baby hasn't eaten anything in 3 days now, at least. She is a picky eater. Sometimes she skips breakfast or super, some days both, but every night she insists on a treat or two so she eats at least a little. Well the last three days she hasn't eaten anything at all. The last two days we have been spending the night at my sisters house. My sister has three schnauzer. Xena, my yorkie, tries to be part of the pack but she also doesn't seem completely comfortable with them. Most of the two days she follows me everywhere and has been sleeping in my lap a lot. I thought maybe her lack of eating has been from nerves or needing to adjust or possibly distraction.. if too much is going on she doesn't want to eat right away. I have tried giving her their dog food to have a new taste. I have tried wet food and her dry food. I have tried giving her treats, or bread. Anything to get her to eat something. I put milk in dry food. The most she has eaten is two bites of food and some milk. What worries me is she is turning her nose up at foods she used to jump on the back of my legs for. She has also not pooped in these three days but I am guessing that is from no food in her belly as she normally poops right after eating.

I was getting worried so i went online and read rotisserie chicken will help their appetite. We happened to have had chicken alfredo last night made with a store bought rotisserie chicken. So I rinsed the alfredo off of the chicken in the sink. It worked... briefly. I got her to eat a small portion of the chicken before she refused any more.

The problem is i thought we had cheese alfredo, turns out the jar of alfredo sauce we mixed the chicken in reads garlic alfredo sauce.

My concerns are: do you think rinsing off the chicken before feeding her washed off any garlic toxins? Should I be concerned of garlic poisoning? Xena is a 7 pound yorkie so I fear her being small might make it more toxic. But she ate such a small amount I'm not sure its worth worrying over.

If I can not get her to eat by morning I am taking her home. Possibly to the vet. I am not sure if this is serious enough for a vet visit.
I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
