 Poor old thing. Chicken is probably your best bet at the moment - there are richer foods that might tempt him to eat, but they also might upset his stomach and obviously you should try to avoid causing him any more discomfort at this stage. You could try putting a little bit of peanut butter on the chicken to see if that helps (not too much, though). Just make sure he's got a plate nearby of whatever food he shows most interest in, so he can pick at it whenever he wants, and plenty of water. If you're worried about his hydration, maybe put out a bowl of very watered-down beef broth as well, as long as it's not too salty.Apart from that, there's not really much you can do. It sounds like you've done all you can to get him to eat, and unfortunately, for a dog of that age, going down and losing his appetite isn't a good sign. Definitely get a vet to look at him as soon as possible, and keep him comfortable in the meantime. Don't try to force him to eat if he doesn't want to. He looks like a sweet old boy and it sounds like you and your mum are doing the best you can for him - they definitely know when people are trying to help, so just having you fussing over him a little would make him feel better.
