Our dogs always get tired of the rice after a while...but they seem to relish the pasta. Gravy, broth...anything really savory will help spice it up, too. How about some non-fat plain yogurt (no artificial flavors or sweeteners) with active cultures? Our dogs love the stuff mixed in with their meals, and it's a mild probiotic as well.

that it's not the Baytril so much as Tipper just not feeling good that is affecting her appetite. I've known other dogs with hepatitis (not sure what type, though) that have lost their appetites and had to be coaxed to eat. Once the hepatitis improved, the appetite came back. If that's what's going on with your little girl, it may get easier to get her to eat as time goes on.

Sounds like you've both been through the ringer!

Good luck, ScottieDog! Please keep us posted with Tipper's progress!
