I have a 21 year old Dachshund that I've had since she was 6 weeks old. She has lost most of her teeth, but still gets around really good. She stopped eating dog food a few months ago and so I started feeding her healthy people food. The last few days she refuses to eat anything, but she will lick the food. I took her to the vet, the vet says she will eat when she gets hungry, but that is not happening! Does anyone know of a good liquid diet, because she will drink, she just won't chew. She's down to 4 pounds and I'm very worried. I feel helpless? :(

When my dog got old and lost most of his teeth I had to make him oatmeal to eat. I would cook oats and let it cool off some and feed it to him. I added a bit of water to the oatmeal so it was easier for him to eat. You can try this to see if your dog will start to eat again.
Get a blender or food processor and purée all the food.
