Really you need to get to a vet. I've seen this happen before, in desperation to find something the dog will eat they try different things, but they only make the matter worse. Milk is not that easy to digest and cream is laden with fat, which again is hard to digest. Dogs won't eat if they are in some type of pain, so there's something going on that you don't know about. The chicken broth was fine, but if he won't drink, he needs to be seen by a vet and they can give him fluids. Please a dog can go several days without eating, but not drinking anything is serious. Remember every time you introduce a new food, you dog will have some type of tummy upset, so the less variety the better.
