Can I force-feed a cat with feline rhinotracheitis that won’t eat?

Several of my dogs are vomiting white foam/mucus and two are lethargic; the local vet’s medicine isn’t working – what’s wrong?
Several dogs vomiting mucus and being lethargic likely points to a viral infection or poisoning. The prescribed medicine targets parvovirus; if an antigen test confirms parvovirus, oral medicine alone usually fails - there is no specific cure, and treatment is fluids, anti-inflammation, antivirals, and gut repair with interferon and monoclonal antibodies. Isolate the dogs to avoid cross-infection.
