I'll be honest.....I don't think she is a picky eater......I think she has you in "training". A healthy dog will not starve ittself to death. Pick one or two (I mix Puppy Pro Plan and Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul) hard foods and put that down for her. If she doesn't eat it in the first 15 minutes, take it away and put it back down in a few hours. I would repeat this until she eats. They can be very stubborn when they are trying to train you and see how far they can push you (sometimes up to 3 days). Give her Nutrical in the meantime, but show her who is boss. This must be wreaking havoc on her little stomach.
