@Taft33 , sorry to hit you up on this but our 12yo standard poodle (see avatar) has not been doing well. She had had diarrhea 2 or 3 times and has not been eating and is real lethargic, she went from 50 lbs down to almost 40lbs. When We took her to the vet we use and they thought it might be a mass, she had a fever and has had some discharge around the eyes. They sent us home with antibiotics and some canned food she won’t touch. Since she wasn’t better we took her back 2 days later for A MRI and they determined there was no mass but a bad virus in her intestines. They gave her fluids and a antibiotic shot and sent us home with some appetite increasing fluid we give her once a day. She would not eat her dog food still and the only this she will eat is chicken meat (I know she shouldn't eat people food but we were desperate to get her to eat)
Since all we can get her to eat is chicken do you have a suggestion of a supplement or something we can give to balance her diet and get her to gain weight or any other advice, have kinda lost faith in the vet, since the original vet retired we have a revolving door of vets we see (it’s a VCA clinic)
Thanks in advance, and again sorry to bother you
