She is a sick dog, you have to cater to her needs at the moment. I would cut her coat down short right now and feed her what she will eat and wash off her face after meals. If she isn't eating well I would be offering food to her more often but be matter of fact about the hourly meals, don't plead with her to just eat another bite. Put it down and pick it up in 10 minutes if she isn't eating. If she eats some food then reduce the amount fed to that amount so she gets used to leaving an empty bowl. Feed more often if she is losing weight or increase the meal size kibble by kibble to trick her into eating a little more. Warmed up might be more appealing, try stinky canned fish too.
Sassy got meat loaf for a while, that wasn't sticky. Boil a half cup of white rice in 1 cup of water, mix with a pound of raw lean ground beef and 3/4 tsp of powdered dried egg shell for calcium and the egg that egg shell came from. Spread on a jelly roll or 13x9" pan and bake until firm in the middle, about 20-30 minutes at 350*F. Cut into bits and serve. That amount would serve Sassy for 2 days so might be a week's worth of food for a little dog. Add 1 ounce of beef liver and 2 ounces of canned sardines and it is nearly perfect for a 10 pound dog for 6 days. If it is greasy, blot it drier or put in hot water and drain to remove some of the extra fat on the outside.
Kibble doesn't clean the teeth, offer bully sticks, antlers and the like to help scrape teeth clean.
