Like Sukie said it could just be the spring wt. loss thing. How old is she? Sometimes the older ones sleep more and therefor go to the bowl less often. Could be she just needs supplemental meals (ie: babyfood or soup, or more of the new kibble if she likes it). Of course bloodwork is always an option and may even make you feel better to know what's up (it's not a full work up but since money is tight it's a start). Anorexia basically means "not eating"...it's not a deliberate, mental thing like it is w/ humans.
