try puppy food most dogs will eat puppy food you can get canned puppy food try to get lanb and rice or chicken and rice or something mixed with rice. The puppy food has more calories and I think it taste better. I am not big on mixing Canned to dry but some dogs like this you can also try to get some chicken broth or beef broth and warm the broth up not to hot but just till luke warm mix it with the dog food now not all of it just enough to cover it all make sure it is not maush but it can coat the dog food I think this should be first before you go to the puppy food and canned food.

Continue to feed the doctor's meds, and continue feeding wet + dry together. Maybe switch his food. He may be reluctant to eat it because he just doesn't like it anymore. Or, if he is your only dog you can try free feeding him until he puts on weight. And dogs eat grass all the time. Not just because they have upset stomachs. Chase eats grass every single day. She loves it.

Eating grass means that he has an upset stomach, or some stomach infection. You should see another vet. Is he an active dog? If not try exercising and playing with him.
