Hi and thank you for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! My best advice is to have leave the dry food without the yogurt or the chicken soup. It may take a day or so until she finally gives in and eats the unadorned food, but she wont starve! She will eventually eat the dry food. Having the yogurt and the chicken in the dry food is not good for her when received every day and she is best without it. I'm not certain the injury has much of a role here. I think perhaps she got use to eating her dry food with lots of delicious toppings and may have become a bit of a picky eater. :) She will eat the dry food eventually by itself-it may take a day, however. Try not to add extras to the food or switch foods during this time. I hope this helps and best of luck to you and Soska!
