Doy with kidney disease and hypertension won’t eat her food

Need HELP please!

My 11 yr old female American Eskimo has kidney disease and hypertension. She is doing much better on Norvasc and Enalapril medication (her protein levels are a bit better and blood pressure is much better) BUT she does not want her food(prescription K/D, which the Dr. said to give her low protein diet)

She is not interested in her new diet. She is on a low protein diet and not really thrilled with the new choices like rice, potatoes – I have tried all sorts of combinations and adding little bits of chicken and tuna. That is really all she wants to eat but can’t have too much of it (only a cup of protein a day).

She must eat and I am running out of ideas… anyone have any suggestions??? I have tried warming up the food, rice, potatoes, carrots and peas she like but too much is gassy, cottage cheese she did not like at all- please help, whatever I put down she just walks away from the bowl, i know she is hungry because she eats the tuna, chicken…

please help!!!
