My dog had a bacterial infection and quit eating hard food, but was drinking lots of water. She was put on antibiotics and got spayed, that was almost 2 weeks ago and she still refuses to eat her hard food. She will eat soft food though. She is very active and drinking water, why will she not eat her hard food again?

If this is an issue you can always take some water or even some chicken broth and mix it with her dry dog food to soften up the food. Sometimes after a dog has had surgery they become picky eaters. I would soften the dry food with some liquid and see if she will eat it then. If not then mix a little of the wet food with the dry food and this one should work.
Please check with the vet on this. My worry is damage was done to her throat or teeth when she was intubated for surgery. It is important for the vet to take a look see!! Prayers for healing! Post back with an update!
Maybe the chewing of the hard food is irritating the incision. There could also be an unrelated reason. A call to the vet is warranted.
Your dog is letting you know that crunchy food right now is not what she wants. Maybe something softer for a little while! The good part is she is taking in fluids!
I think softening the food with some broth would help. Or maybe it is time for wet food for awhile.
