This is most unusual?  I lost a Boston Terrier in a dog fight some years back, he was raised with my old English Bulldog together, she pined for a week, but she ate, just sulked around.
Something more is wrong here.  Give them the best dog food possible, put some cottage cheese in it every feed.  Also, wet with hot water, let set fiften seconds, then offer it to one each.  Measure out the foods.  Watch each one eat.
Keep tring with 5 or 10 lb bags to find what each will eat, u cannot let them waste away, it is not because of her, dogs recover with love from another.
Make sure they are not worm infested badly?  Make sure they are currect on shots that it is not a disease both contacted?  Make sure any collars are not too tight.  Make sure they are drinking plenty of water and left out to do.  Put a beaten egg with one tbsp of suger seperate during the day for a quick pick up for each one, give each their own bowel.

Give Brewers Yeast and Garlic tabs, Wal Marts have them with Omega Fatty Acids to help out.  I personally use Fresh Factors from www.springtimeinc.com and Bug Off for fleas and ticks, oh, Make sure the do not have some ticks hidden eating the blood and energy left.  Make sure no fleas are a burden to them each.  Get a flea comb, run through especially at base of tail, if any small specks of dirt u see, they have flease, dip them then get them on garlic.

Visit my site on litters, scroll down to springtimeinc.com and check out Fresh Factors the best supplement one can invest in for all dogs and pups.  Your love is not going to let these dogs surrive if one is staggering already.
They must eat, go out and try Benetiful by Purina
