My dog has Cushing's and is picky. How can I add calories to her food?

Question

My dog has cushings, she's on 60 mg vetoryl per day. She's always been a picky eater since she was a puppy. She is 8 now. She just went to the vet 3 days ago and all of her bloodwork came back normal. I was just wondering if you have heard of Miracle Vet All-Natural Weight Gainer, and if you recommend it, not as a dietary supplement every day but on the days where rissa is extra picky and doesn't not want to really eat much and could use some extra calories.

I have to be honest that I'm not familiar with this product, but I am hesitant about a product that calls itself "Miracle Vet." From what I can see, it contains a large number of calories, 2400 to be exact, which is more than they need daily. While I understand it's used to gain weight, I wouldn't recommend it. I would try to tempt her to eat on days where she's acting picky by mixing in some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in with her normal food.
