Did the vet tell you what she has going on? Dogs who eat tainted food can go into liver/kidney failure.

If your dog is not eating/drinking at all, she needs to go back to the vet.

I put mine on plain chicken and white rice whenever they are sick, or when switching foods. Boiled or roasted chicken, no spices, no fat, skin or bone, minced and mixed 1:1 with Minute rice, then I add water to that to make it like a stew and serve it that way. (I use chicken meat-only baby food in a pinch) Then I gradually add in some of the new dog food till they're eating all dog food, over 4-5 days.

Better brands of dog food can be found at Petsmart or Petco. They're a bit more expensive but it works out bc the dogs don't need to eat as much (read the labels) as they do with cheaper foods (better foods have more nutrition per bite). Also the stores will give you a refund on any food she won't eat, so you can find something she likes.
