the evo is super small, because the only kind of evo our pet store has is the tiny bites kind. but it's perfect for him, normally.
he was on the antibiotics for 3 days, and hasn't been on them since wednesday.
yeah, i have done the cooked rice, oatmeal etc....
i remember now why i dislike little dogs. worse than cats.

Well, then I give up.

I have heard similar things with little dogs. I don't have much experience with them, although I have had a Chi for many years. He seems to be an oddball. I have been extremely lucky with my Chi. He will be 8 and has vomited only twice in his life (after eating 2 McDonald's breakfast burritos and some beef jerky, and once after eating a 1.5lb Mrs.Field's cookie sandwich) and never had diarrhea, nor any type of illness. He is as hardy as they come, although he has epilepsy and had surgery to remove 2 ruptured discs.

They can be trying, and they freak you out b/c they're so fragile, physically. I don't know what else you can do besides try making the bites smaller if you really think he's just getting too tired to eat anymore.

You've done all you can. Maybe in a day he'll feel a bit better from the little bit he HAS eaten, and then he'll eat some more. Hang in there.

Does he like Ice? or Ice cream...mine have always gone nuts for it.
When I had a very sick little dog who wouldnt eat I made her some doggie ice cream. I mixed plain yogurt with chicken baby food and a put it in my ice cream maker.
But maybe you could just freeze them into little dixie cups, then let them soften some before giving it a try.

Her mouth and throat had chemical burns and she was naseated as well so the cold seemed to do the trick. She also didnt think she was eating at first.

I also gave her little bits of honey diluted with water for the glucose and other nutrients in it to kick start her system and keep her out of shock the first 24 hours when i didnt know what was going on and of course it was a holiday weekend. My vet thought this was a good idea and said that when they dont eat for several days their appetite will vanish but getting some sugars in them can perk them up enough to eat.

The chicken ice cream was several days later when the vet decided I could do as much or more for her at home.

I know its not ideal but all my dogs have always been crazy for cat food, I sometimes uses pieces of the cats dry food as training treats. At this point if the little guy hasnt eaten I would be willing to let him have a small amount of almost anything just to get him up and going.
I Even tried plain gelatin and chicken broth jello for the little one who somehow got into something that poisened her, she tried it but prefered the chicken ice cream.
