We have the same problem with our 10 year old dog. If we place food in the dog's mouth, the dog will eat. But the dog will not eat cooked meat or any dog food unless we place it in her mouth. We took the dog to the vet. Blood tests and x-rays revealed no problems. The vet thinks the dog contracted a virus and gave us Netronidazole and Pepcid AC to increase the dog's appetite and reduce nausea.
