He eventually got rid of the infection after 4 different antibiotics and weekly vet visits. If you can get him to eat something, that is better than nothing. We had to put vitamins in the baby food per the vet in order to make sure he was getting everything that he needed.

My neighbor had a puppy that would not eat and the vet had her put a small amount of canned cat food in with their food and they ate.
the vet tried the cat food thing. it did not work for long. I really hope bam bam does not have an infection. What were your dogs symptoms other than not eating? Was he lethargic?? Did he run around and play at all?
