Having some nutri-cal or something similar is good at this stage for low blood sugar. I hear Karo syrup is also a decent substitute. You'll only need to give a dab or so, when they seems either shaky or so, but they'll need to eat something more substantial (sometimes it does help with appetite, too). You might also try adding wet food to the dry. I also had to adjust to the fact that they got tiny tummies and may not eat as hardy, but frequently. If anything, you might even try some human baby food, just be sure the ingredients don't include anything like onions, garlic or other not so good stuff for dogs. My girl also went through some periods where she didn't eat as well, and this is normal as long as they aren't showing any signs of deterioration. Dog foods of high premium quality also has more calories and nutrients than regular dogs foods so they don't have to eat as much of it. The regular tends to have fillers that make them feel full for longer but not as nutritious.
