since i cant read the replys, on this apple phone, this may be old news. did the vet think its time? there is a med called cafragot ( i know i misspelled it) it kinda acts like pepto bismol for us but w/o the runs. it can, help a lot with dogs vomiting and lack of appetite. will she eat if you hand feed her? shredded chicken broth and rice ( no salt in the broth). an ice cube every half hour or so. Boiled skimmed ground sirlon in small hand fed bits if she likes that too.
I cant read any of the replys from our friends here, Im on a borrowed phone. I wish only the best for you and your baby. I am so so sorry.
heart dogs, they leave such holes in our hearts.
