I'm sorry to hear that Choot has been sick. Since he is on his 7th day of treatment I am hoping her diarrhea and vomiting has resolved. If it has not resolved then this could be a reason she is not eating well. I suggest trying a home cooked diet of boiled chicken and sweet potato or rice. You can also try some different types of canned foods to see if that will encourage her to eat. Small puppies like Choot can get dehydrated and malnourished quickly if they are not eating or drinking so if she is not eating normally soon I recommend going back to your veterinarian. There are special prescription recovery diets like Hill's a/d that may encourage eating. Your veterinarian can also give an injection of Cerenia to help with nausea and encourage eating. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Choot is feeling better soon!
