Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. You can add a probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora to the diet to see if the makes the food more palatable or add in chicken breast / ground beef with chicken broth. If the appetite does not improve, I would suggest having a veterinarian examine Rino so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
