| Worried, Couldn't find any NutraCal I went to pick some of this up because Bailey arrives off his flight on Friday, I'm afraid this will have stressed him alot, and went to pick up Nutracal today but the pet store was out. That was the only place to get it here. I don't know what to do now, I'm worried. Is there anything I can do, I'm afraid of hypoglycemia

| Karo syrup works just as well. I've used it with my baby when the Nutri-cal isn't helping. You can use a tiny bit on your finger and rub it on his gums. Don't give him too much... I did that one day and Hathaway was like a ping pong ball for hours. Best of luck with Bailey!!! |

| I got mine from my vet too. But dont stress out lol!!!!! If worse comes to worse and you cant get any by Friday, just bring Karo syrup it will do the trick! True story NutraCal is just "better" for them like heathier and stuff but Karo works just as well for hypoglycemia. Thats what my vet said! Good luck I bet your super excited

| You get it at the grocery store. Just ask, they will show you.

| Its a clear bottle type thing with KARO written on the front label, there are 2 kinds: dark and light- I would recommend the light because its clear and doesnt seem as messy. Its like a clear syrup. Good luck! If you cant find that, I am sure honey will work.

| Yep, honey works great too. Karo is found in the baking isle with the marshmellows, nuts, shortning, all that good stuff. |

| It's used to prevent hypoglycemia, in case the pups sugar level gets to low

| Ahhhhh............ Thank you. I guess I better start looking for some now. When I go to pick up my baby girl, she will have a LONG 7 hour ride home.... I don't want to sound stupid, since I am still learning. But, what are the signs to watch for? |
