Location: Midwest		Try getting the soft food version of whatever formula science diet the dog normally eats. Warm it up in the microwave and maybe add a little water. We used to do this in the clinic for the hospitalized animals to get them to eat. 

I would not feed the dog any regular food unless the vet tells you it is okay to do so.

Location: North Dakota		boiled hamburger and rice, salt it a little too, will encourage drinking.  Some dogs love licking ice cubes, help flush her organs.  We've used chicken and rice too.  so sad when they don't want to eat :(

Location: 31 lengths farms		I 've given her the canned version of the Renal product, the problem with most canned food is that she will eat it when you first open it, but not after its been in the refrigerator, even when you microwave it to heat it up.
I sat with her last night and held her in my mom's chair, she seemed happy about it, but still wouldn't eat. However this morning she ate the chicken I had cooked up the night before for her, will go home at noon and see if she will eat a little more.
I also figured that she is towards the end of her life, she is gong to die if I can't get her to eat so I kind of have to throw out the rules for her usual diet and find what ever she is willing to eat. I will give the cottage cheese a shot also, she is not an egg eater. Not even when my mom was still at home, she would eat pretty much anything my mom snuck her off her plate...except for eggs, LOL!!!
