“If you are having trouble getting your dog to eat and she is TRULY underweight, I would ask your vet if he is comfortable prescribing Mirtazapine”.

Of course the vet is uncomfortable prescribing anything, until diagnostic tests have ruled out medical conditions for the poor appetite. The poor appetite is a symptom, not the cause.

Get to the root of the problem, get the recommended diagnostic testing advised by the vet that has examined your dog.
