I am not sure which pain killers were prescribed and why your dog was taking them for 3 weeks but it is good that all her blood-work is normal. Her blood- work should be repeated in a couple weeks to make sure nothing has changed. I am also not sure the medication she is on now but your could ask your vet about trying an anti-nausea medication called Cerenia to see if that would help get her eating again. Hope she is back to normal soon!
