Maybe try baby food or cat food. From what I've read many dogs with poor appetite may eat those.

I called the holistic vet to tell the blood test results. He couldn't say much. He suggested me to continue with acupuncture. He said she might have pain due to spondylosis and not eating because of this. Said me to give her turmeric and another anti inflammatory.
I would give her Rimadyl if she eats.
He said this might be temporary.
I'm confused as always. Wish I was a vet.
These are from yesterday and today.
so scary and confusing so hard to decide what to do.
No advice, sending continued good thoughts it was just a quirk and she feels better

Cerenia is a medication used as anti-nausea. It worked wonders for Dan when he had to be on metronidazole and it made him not want to eat. Nausea is a common side effect of anti-inflammatories...also of turmeric.
I still think the physical issue is from the type of acupuncture. The nausea is most likely from the herbs.
Poor sweet girl...I hate to think that she feels so nauseated and awful.

Just seeing this and sending lots of Mojo. About all I can do.
One thing to think about, this is exactly how my sisters lab acted after stem cell therapy. It wasn't the therapy itself but from an infection from the needles used as an IV. The needle were new and sterilized but they thing there was some bacteria on the skin of something that got pushed in. So maybe the acupuncture caused a secondary infection. This was really hard for them to find what was actually wrong. They knew he went downhill shortly after the stem cell therapy but they thought it was his body reacting to that. Instead it was just a secondary infection cause by the needles. Something to think about.
