Ours will not eat during a shed! Others have suggested to wait a week after a refusal but I don't recall anybody mentioning that they were showing weight loss with refusal.
If you need to take your bp to the vet, there are methods you can use during transport to keep him/her warm enough. When I took mine to the vet, I used a heating pad on the outside of the tub, plugged into an inverter. It took some time to adjust the temps but since I started out in the morning, by time the evening appointment came around, it was good to go. I also took my accurite along to ensure that the heating pad wasn't getting too hot. She curled up in the towel and ejoyed the ride.
Good Luck!
How far away is your vet? You live in BFE or something?
