Well, yes, I think so but it sounds like you've given her every chance to eat. I was going to suggest you wait it out but then I saw you did that. Have you tried playing with it and hand-feeding her? When I switched Tatum's food after bringing her home, she didn't want anything to do with it. I would throw pieces across the floor and let her chase them. She thought that was fun and she got fed in the process. I know I also hand fed her for probably two weeks before she started eating on her own. BUT if your's won't eat after trying that, I would think canned would just have to be sufficient. My toy poodle was on canned most of his life only because that's what my grandpa would let him eat when he stayed with him during the day. His teeth were worse off for it but that just meant more cleanings. It definitely wasn't good for his teeth in the long run because as he got old, he did have to have quite a few pulled. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
