I have a miniature schnauzer Ashe is dying from heart failure and cancer. I can’t get her to eat without throwing up. Is there anything you could suggest to feed her. I have done everything even rice and boiled chicken

Poor Scruffy. There are some good anti-nausea drugs. I would talk to your vet about giving her a shot of cerenia or something similar for nausea. Sometimes they need the shot first to get it in their system then you can follow up with the oral version of it every day. I hope this helps!
