Ringo had gastroenteritis (at least that's what the vet called it) after getting into some chicken bones last year.

He didn't eat at all for a couple of days; but I managed to get the medicine in him with some cheese and to drink some water out of my hand.

He was then able to eat the Iams Low Residue food that the vet gave him ~ he actually liked it so that was helpful. After the first week, he was off the meds and back on regular food and he relapsed right away - so back to the vet for more medicine and more Iams. The Purina EN he got recently did NOT help at all.

Of course, he is a sturdy 15 lb Westie, so he probably can go a few more days without eating than a little Yorkie.

I hope you are having a better morning.
