| Hi Robin, I would call her vet anytime they're not eating I feel like they're sending up a flag for some reason, but it could be something as simple as a little upset belly. Have you tried other foods? |

| At 16 years old, any change in their behavior is suspect for something adverse going on, age related....dark urine can indicate many things....perhaps just concentrated from not drinking enough fluids all the way to kidney or liver issues. She needs to be seen by your vet just to be certain she is not having age related issues.... |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Not eating is a sign that something is definitely wrong. Very dark urine is also a sign that something wrong. So *please* get this poor little girl to a vet ASAP!! This could be a kidney issue and she needs to be seen asap.
