give her food in the morning, if she doesn't eat in 10 mins pick up the food and give it to her in the afternoon, after 10 mins if she doesn't eat pick it up again, rinse and repeat, eventually she will eat guaranteed.

Been there done that several times even after a through vet checkup.
One stint she went 10 days and had lost over 2 lbs (10% of her body weight) and was throwing up bile because of an empty stomach. Vet finally told me to add a canned food topper to the food. With some food that works.. with others she would literally eat the canned food off and around of the dry and leave the dry on the floor.
This all started about 3 years ago when the Wellness she had been on since a puppy changed their formula. She wouldn't touch it.. in fact rubbed on it. Finally got her eating a food called Flint River Ranch.. but it's Internet distributor only...and not that great compared to other foods. A few months back she went off her food because she was getting scraps from my toddler grandbaby's high chair droppings. I put a stop to that when I noticed she wasn't eating her own food nightly. Decided at that time to get her back on something decent.
With a topper food like Wellness 95% Beef or Chicken mixed in really well she ate most all of what I gave her tonight that was the Artemis Fresh Mix food. Maybe this one's a keeper.
