    Runner wouldn't eat either. And still won't when I want her to. She will eat if I leave her kibble out over night. When she knows no one is going to give her scraps because everyone is in bed.

    And then she picks up her bowl and carries it to a comfy spot, lays down and eats one by one lol.

    Since you've already taken her to the vet and know she has a virus, you must have some medication for her. How are you getting her to take it?

    A dog can go for a few days without eating, but they need water. How is she doing with drinking?

    How does she act? Tired? Depressed? Playful? Friendly? Scared? Stressed?

    If she is OK otherwise, put her food down at the same time every day and pick it up after about a half hour. No treats in between. Dogs won't starve themselves to death in a few days. Maybe sprinkle a very little garlic powder on the food to encourage her. Canned food can cause diarhera. If that doesn't work, call your vet.

    Have you tried her on plain boiled rice with maybe a bit of chicken or fish?

    That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Plain boiled rice with a little bit of boiled skinless chicken breast.
