Has the dog been around fish? If a dog gets fish from streams between northern Cali to Washington they can get salmon poisoning. If so get it on tetracycline fast.

she hasnt been around any fish i gave her some milk egg and sugar mix last night and she ate half her food this morning so i think she might be getting better iam going to try the egg milk and sugar again and see what happens

You should be monitoring more than just her food intake. One needs to look at the whole picture, her overall health, and look closely for any signs that indicates something else [ other than being off food ] is not right.

Some quick thoughts......
Water intake? Dehydrated? "Tenting" skin on neck or chest when pinched?

Foreign body in her mouth? Gums? Inflammed? Oral abcess? Tooth broken?

Mobilize normally? Normal gait / balance? Energy level?

Respirations normal? Quiet? Regular rate? Uncomplicated?

Heart rate on palpation? Regular? Heart sounds OK [ just like yours does]?

Tender abdomen with gentle but deliberate palp? Stools normal? Vomiting? Rectal temp?

Peeing OK? Normal frequency?

Bright eyes with good accomodation? Alert?

Any abnormal stuff here, and it's a trip to the vet.....or wait and see if she gets worse if you're a gambling man........

It may be related to the rabies vaccine, but maybe not. You could try taliking to vet who gave the vaccine to see if it's a *normal* reaction.
