Green tripe is very good for dogs with kidney disease and dogs love it so much even picky eaters or sick dogs will eat it. There are a few brands of dog food with green tripe but I order fresh, raw green tripe from a company called Hare Today Gone Tomorrow. It smells really bad, but dogs love it.

Have you tried hand feeding it. My dog didn't eat when I put his home cooked meal out but I put my fingers in the bowel grabbed a little out and he ate it off my fingers.  This is our thing now when he doesn't eat on his own. Now I think he just likes being hand fed. I hope she is eating soon.

Thanks....I tried already but the vet told her bun/creat/phosp is too high....maybe once in control and with appetite stimulant maybe she will eat
