My 5 months old Papillon was like this. I'd never quite believed it when people said they could do nothing to get a dog to eat but she would literally starve for a day or so, then just pick at her food. Eventually I just followed the advice I'd always given to others -put the food down for a short while, and if it wasn't touched, remove it. Within a few days yes she did lose weight (and she is tiny to start with), but then realised she best eat when the food was on offer. Now she doesn't get the same variety as before (I used to add cheese and goats milk and scrambled eggs and all sorts to her food to entice her to eat), but she eats really well and finishes quickly.
