My dog was in the ICU for eleven days six months ago for major surgery. When we got her home she wouldn't eat. Because of her IBD we couldn't give her appetite stimulants. So we set kibbles down the back of her throat for three days, and she did swallow. We made sure we put in enough for her to truly be sustained. At first she was annoyed, but as time went on she got more used to the food again, and after three days ate again normally and regained her (extreme) lost weight; she is fine now.
My idea was that we had to get her digestive system going again; that she had to have the "feel" of processing food. I wonder if you consume enough calories, as Kay says, if your body will again get used to digesting and think it is normal. I wish you good health.
