Poor girl. I would try some wet food such as Hill's Science diet or Eukanuba as an alternative. You can try mixing it first to try to avoid stomach upset. If she is also acting ill however, she needs to be seen by your vet to have her checked out to determine the underlying issue there. Try giving her some treats for now to make sure her glucose levels stay up. Small soft puppy treats are advised so that she can easily eat them. Best of luck with your fur baby Ruby and I hope she feels better soon! Take care.
