Her appetite has disappeared!!

If anyone has seen it can we have it back please?


Seriously, nightmare atm.

She has been very hit and miss for a good few weeks for food, but she has been quite poorly this week with a cough and cold and although she is lots better today her appetite hasnt come back properly yet.

Went out for lunch today and she ate 1 carrot. That was it.

I had prepared a pot of fruit for her as I suspected it may happen and she scoffed that, and has has eaten a bowl of soup with some bread for tea but thats all I could get her to eat all day.

Any advise?
It was Wed/ Thu that she was really poorly - am I expecting too much too soon?

She's feeling better, she's eating what she can manage, I really wouldn't worry too much so soon after she has been feeling poorly. Unless she is becoming ill with lack of nutrition then just give her a few more days to build her appetite back up. If she still isn't eating more this time next week then I'd say contact your HV for some advice.

Thanks hon, you have confirmed what I already suspected, I'm expecting too much too soon. I'm sure she will be fine in a few days xx
