Ok so I have been reluctant to ask, but my lead gyp is practically refusing to eat. She has lost 10-13lbs in the last two weeks. She is beginning to look like hell. I finally went up to the local cafe and they saved me about a 5 gallon bucket full of scraps. Ham, hamburger, mashed potatoes and such. I picked out the best looking stuff and tried to feed it to her and nothing. Figured if i left she may ease over there and get a nibble. Came back hour later nothing.
She's been on same type of food for a while with no problems. Few days ago i tried soft dog food and she ate about a half can n then gave that up. I gave her a shot of penicillin n B12 just to see if it'd help this morning. My wife is off today and i told her to keep checking on her. If she hasnt eaten by this eve i guess we will take a trip to the vet.
What's your thoughts and opinions?

She's on an IV antibiotic drip. The vet said her white blood cell count were at 36,000 and normal was around 11,000, so there is infection. He pulled blood and the things listed above were Negative.
