Dog will only eat ice cream

[Anonymous]

OP here because an update was requested. The dog is eating again and is not on the verge of death. The vet said he’ll probably live a few more years. He had a sebaceous adenoma close to his lip which became infected. Vet drained it and he is on light antibiotics but is back to eating.

Soak kibble in water or bone broth.

+1 And try hand feeding pureed rice, green beans and a little chicken.

Wow, that’s a great update! I only wish it wasn’t so hard to get appointments right now. Poor guy suffered waiting to be seen.

Mine hung on for Chik-Fil-a nuggets.

He was my first dog, and my sister and I got him from a rescue in Richmond because the Alexandria shelter wouldn’t adopt a dog to to young single women. On the drive home, we stopped at Chik-Fil-a and shared our nuggets with him.

When he was dying a dozen years (plus husbands and kids and houses, because, shockingly, I kept my dog through the life changes the shelter identified when they denied me) later, I bought him a catering tray, and he ate exclusively nuggets for his last week.

I loved that dog.
