I missed this thread somehow and haven't read through to the end yet but I'm so sorry poor Callie is having so much trouble. I know how depressing and awful it is to have a dog who is refusing food and not acting normally. You worry something really bad is wrong and worry they won't get the energy and nutrition they need for the day. I worry Tibbe might get hypoglycemic or who knows what when he refuses food. Thankfully she's got a mommie who cares and will get to the bottom of it and eventually help her.
I had to go to stomach sensitive food for Tibbe when he kept doing this. The ONLY thing he doesn't get sick from, vomit and end up with diarrhea on is a combination of Hill's I/D GI and Hill's L/D Hepatic Canned - he can't even handle trying to change him from hepatic canned to hepatic kibble for a change. If we stray from that formula, he's sick, avoids all eating, spits up or vomits, is lethargic and lays around and it ends up in a loose stool or frank diarrhea. His first few years of life, he could and would eat all dog foods, green beans, bits of pizza crust, even the occasional tiny bite of meat here and there but boy, all of that changed as he approached age 3 - 4 years of age!
You might try her on Hill's I/D GI for a while and see how she does.
