I have had so much trouble getting my Bella to eat.

So far, I have tried Royal Canin, Innova Evo, Wellness for small breeds (all dry kibble).

On Monday I bought some Wellness wet food and started mixing a little bit in with the dry and she gobbled it up (I was soooo happy), but she started having diarrea. I thought that was just something that would pass as she got used to the new food, but by Wednesday night she was throwing up too - for hours, so I took her to the vet yesterday and they gave her fluids and something to stop the diarrea and told me to stop feeding her the wet food and buy some Purina One and just give that to her. I'm so frustrated. I think I've been giving her better quality foods than that and don't know what to do. Please help! She just doesn't seem interested in dry food, but her stomach couldn't even handle a teaspoon of the wet food mixed in. I feel terrible that my giving it to her made her so sick. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to try anything- I just want her to be healthy.
