You will probably have to hand feed her for a while. Find a good quality canned food and try to hand feed her. If she won't eat any kibble, try to grind up puppy kibble and mixed with canned and hand feed. If she absolutely won't eat you may need to mix canned with water and syringe feed....don't force it down her throat (she could aspirate) but just to get the food into her mouth and hopefully she will swallow it on her own. Another thing I do with my moms is I take a tablespoon ebsilac (puppy formula) and mix with 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl and offer that to mom once in the morning and once in the evening. They usually lap it all up quickly....provides calories, nutrients, and calcium and helps keep mom hydrated.
