There has to be a reason the Betta is sick. The fish will not eat if it is dying. I would assume that there is something wrong with its water or conditions. My advice is do a water change ASAP. Then read and follow the basic rules for keeping any fish. They are as follows. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. (Bettas are 3 gallon fish) Every tank needs a permanently running filter. :- Every tank need to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. If your Betta is kept in a minimum 3 gallon tank and its water kept at 78F, it will be OK. Any less water, or the lack of a filter and the required water changes and I can guarantee it is only a matter of time before your Betta gets very sick and dies.

lets say ur betta has swimbladder disorder. u dont need to worry a bit . do a 100% water change. add stress coat{buy from pet store} and buy peas from any local stores. cook the peas until its soft. then take a toothpick or any thing that can go thrue the pea.take only a quarter of the pea and feed it to betta every day once a day until better

just for little more information if ur betta is floating side ways or upside down it has swim bladder
