My 14 year old puppy, need advice

On Tuesday I will be taking my 14 year old labrador/shepard to the veterinarian. In the mean time, my poor baby will hardly eat.

She recently suffered what seems to be a stroke, and the vet only told us she would slowly recover. We've been trying to feed her but she seems to refuse all forms of meat, and the only thing she'll eat will be sandwiches with no crust, yet only if she sees us eating it, and we share it with her.

She can walk on her own (sometimes needing a bit of assistance, down stairs and up them, and she occasionally stumbles) and she drinks plenty of water. She's up and down all the time and even plays with the cat. She will eat Milk Bone dog biscuits without a second thought.

Is there anything I can try to help her eat?
