It’s a thing, not eating out of a bowl. Some dogs are like that. Get one of those flat mats example https://www.chewy.com/petrageous-designs-bone-n-up-dinner/dp/55327

Offfer him small meals 3 or 4 times a day, put the food on the mat and do not hover over him.
Add a splash of water to the food and mix in a bit of soft food with the kibble, scrambled egg or canned food.
Do not free feed, leave food down. Pick up after 10 minutes, store in the fridge and offer at the next mealtime. Have fresh water available 24/7
As long as he is drinking water and eating a little, he should be okay.
However, if he does not consume solid food times 72 hours, call the vet.

Give him some time…..

Antibiotics can cause nausea, so work closely with your vet, however doxycycline seems to be one of the better tolerated ones.
