    Sick puppy
    I have a sick puppy, the Vet can't find anything wrong with her. She was throwing up the other day and wouldn't eat, and still won't eat. She is 11 months old, -zu and Pikingnese. Any one have any ideas of how to get her to eat and what food to try?
    The Vet suggested rice, but she won't even eat that? HELP!!

    You could try this bland recovery diet for dogs.

    3 parts cooked rice, one part boiled hamburger or chicken, or cottage cheese. I think you can substitute boiled potatoes for the rice. Once in an emergency, we bought a plain baked potato from Wendy's.

    This is meant for short time settling a dog's digestive tract. It is not the complete and balanced they need long term.

    A few days of not eating won't hurt a dog. Stay in touch with the vet. If she isn't doing better by Monday, either go back to the vet, or try a different one.
