If the Vet is sure he does not have pancreatitis or some type of cancer, I
would start hand feeding him.  Literally give him pieces of people food by
hand.  Just be careful not to give him anything with a high fat content.
Any leftover turkey in the fridge from Thanksgiving?  Low fat lunch meat?  A
little bit of cheese?  And see if you can sneak a piece or two of kibble in
every few bites.  I'm sure others will give you a lot more detailed
suggestions, but hand feeding has always helped when we have eating
problems.  Good luck and lots of drool to Barney.

	Hi need some help from my drool family.  Barney's not doing well. In
August we had a barium x-ray done. Since January Barney had steadily lost
weight and lost his desire to eat. The x-rays showed ulcers in his stomach.
He was put on a diet and meds that seemed to work for a while. He gained
some of his weight  back and then he stopped eating again. He had been on
Royal Canine Gastro Intestinal  high energy dog food.He began to loose more
weight. We finally did a sonogram which showed not only ulcers but a badly
functioning gall bladder and a liver that wasn't well. There are other
things going on in his tummy but it would take me a hour to git it all down.
He is now on 5 medications to help him heal and get him eating again. My Vet
placed him on a hypoallergenic kibble and can food. After a few days Barney
refused to eat it. I finally started making him boiled chicken and rice
which he eat for about a weak. Today he refused the chicken and rice. The
vet opened a can of duck 
 and he turned his nose up. He is down to 35 pounds.  His normal weight for
10 years was 50 pounds..does anyone have any suggestions what I could feed
Barney? I'm afraid I'm going to loose him. He can't loose any more weight.
Help
