i have dealt with alot of dogs that have been traumatized in one way or another and wouldn’t eat.what i do is sit next to their bowl just hang out ignore the bowl like that’s not why your there.pet the dog play with the dog let the dog lay in your lap whatever feels right.when it seems like she’s relaxed casually pick-up a piece of food don’t even offer it right away or she might suspect a trick play with the food keep playing with the dog maybe roll the food around on the floor a little she should start to show some interest in it offer it to her do it again a few times one at a time then a few pieces on the floor then hold the bowl in your lap play with the food in the bowl she’ll wanna know what’s so fun in the bowl sit patiently.one time like this should be all you need to remind her lil stomach how nice it is to have a good meal.i understand all that" a dog won’t starve it’s self" but if you were scared wouldn’t you want someone to do more than just let you go until you couldn’t take anymore and this has always worked for me and never became a problem with controll or manipulation issues.i understand how it could, but when ever there is trauma i think it’s worth the risk.good-luck.kyena’s mom

Contact the vet but also get a solid trainer or behavioral consultant to work one on one with you. I think you posted about this dog on another forum and a dog that is as scared as this one sounds really would benefit from a personal evaluation from a good trainer.
