Mum refusing all food and drinks

[mPierrepoint]

Hi there, my Mum was officially diagnosed with mixed dementia 4 yrs ago but it had been there for yrs before. Always had a small appetite over the last couple of yrs but always had a sweet tooth and could guarantee she would eat a pudding. Had a fall in the house a momth ago and broke her hip which needed surgery, since then she has become double incontinent and now where pads abd gas a long term catheter, personality has become more stroppy and all food she hates. Has constant UTI's and just refuses to eat anything. Worried she will starve

Hello @mPierrepoint

I think you need to contact her GP, or phone 111. There are many reasons why someone with dementia may stop eating and drinking and it needs investigating.
