Toddler not urinating often.

My 2.5 yo has urinated twice in 24 hours. Bone dry nappy till 4.30 am this morning, used the potty about 7 , it was bright yellow, took a sample to the dr who examined her said absolutely fine, no sign of dehydration.
She doesn't drink huge amounts anyway but has had a small cup of milk, Rice Krispies with milk and several sips of water.
Also a egg sandwich 1/2 pack of quavers and some grapes so far today?
Any help or ideas what could be going on??

Also she hasn't eaten properly for a couple of days, but she has eaten better today as I've stated .

Hi, if she's not drinking a huge amount then the body will keep the majority and not get rid of too much.
If she's not been eating much on top of this sounds like she might have something viral and hopefully if she's eaten more today she's coming out the other side of it.

Good sign is that the doctor cant pick up any infection but if she's still like it by the end of the week you could always give them a call back and see if you can speak to a doctor again (instead of going in) and see what they say.

Maybe try she with fruits like watermelon or anything else that's generally watery to get more fluids onboard.

Thank you, I've just given her some watermelon, she doesn't drink much anyway but but I've never had this before.
She's happy and playing but I have no idea why this is happening, I'm worried to death!

She's probably just got a virus, which can make them go a bit off their grub and drink, even if they seem otherwise well.

This is kindly meant, but if she's otherwise OK in herself, you really don't need to be worried to death. Just keep a closer eye than usual on her, keep offering fluids (if she's not got any D&V, she'll be taking what she needs), and give the doctor a shout if it's still the same in a few days.

Hope she feels fully well again soon.

Any swelling at all?

Swelling where? I don't think so.
