Keep tabs on her weight; as long as she isnt loosing weight at a pace and still looks bright, i wouldnt worry too much
My older female (i think she's 8) has her moments of going off food for a while - then comes back with a vengeance after a couple of weeks!

As always, make sure her temperatures arent too high or low. Hope she doesnt stay worrying for long!
