Be creative in offering food. When my girl was sick, everyone was offering her chicken and rice and various invalids food. She wouldn't eat at all. They basically sent her home to say goodbye.
But I tossed her a teensy piece of pizza from the table. She caught it and swallowed. After that, when her appetite dropped off, I offered her bold flavors. Croutons were a favorite. I tossed them to her, and the "catching" of the prey seemed to interest her enough to swallow.
It might not work. But it may be worth a try.
Maybe you could try tossing the food?
