| Nutri-Call? What's this about Nutri-Cal that I've been reading? Did you give it to your Yorkie when he was a pup and what exactly does it do/is it for? |

| I'm giving it to Belle...she's 8 weeks. It keeps blood sugar up and prevents hypoglycemia.

| You can use white karo syrup, works well too, and that's what my vet recommends. The thing is, they don't have to have it if they're eating/drinking, etc. My first yorkie I got before she was quite 7 weeks old, she never needed it. Usually they get hypoglycemia(if they're going to get it) up to 12 weeks. After that, most of them don't need it anymore, unless they're super tiny or aren't eating/drinking |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Despite some who sometimes say "it's all sugar!" - you can see for yourself below that although there is sugar - it is actually quite a good supplement (the point is, it's a supplement that you can get them to take, quickly, when needed): Ingredients: Corn Syrup, Soybean Oil, Malt Syrup, Cod Liver Oil, Cane Molasses, Methylcellulose, Water, Gelatin By-products, dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Manganese Sulfate, Iron Peptonate, Thiamine HCl, Niacinamide, Calcium Pantothenate (Source of Calcium and Pantothenic Acid), Magnesium Sulfate, Pyridoxine HCl, Vitamin A Palmitate & D3 supplement, Potassium Iodide (Source of Iodine and Potassium), Riboflavin5, Phosphate Sodium (Source of Vitamin B2 and Phosphorus), Folic Acid and Cyancobalamin (Vitamin B12 ). Nutritional Information: Minimum guaranteed Analysis Per teaspoon (6 grams) Crude Protein 0.7% Calcium (0.0026%) 0.16 mg Phosphorus (0.0003%) 0.02mg Iodine (0.0083%) 0.50 mg Manganese (0.0167%) .90 mg Vitamin A 940.0 IU Vitamin E 5.0 IU Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 0.2 mg Vitamin B12 1.9 mcg Niacin 1.9 mg Crude Fat 34.5% Moisture 14.0% Calcium (0.0033%) 0.20 mg Iron (0.0078%) 0.47 mg Magnesium (0.0063%) 0.42 mg Potassium (0.0025%) 0.16 mg Vitamin D3 60.0 IU Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 1.7 mg Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 0.8 mg Folic Acid 0.2 mg d-Pantothenic Acid 0.9 mg Also a source of Linoleic, Eicosapentanoic Acid, Docosahexanoic Acid and Omega-6 & Omega-3 Fatty Acids. It is VERY helpful for dogs under stress, hypoglycemia, emergencies, or when a new puppy comes to the home (you can give prophylactically in that case, to avoid hypo and help w/ stress).

| Stormy has been getting some everyday for the past week since the accident so her sugars are up, We had a scare when we first got her two months ago. I got the puppy one and she enjoys it, it's nice to have a little extra reassurance sometimes with these little babies |

| I give my Ewok Nutrical still about 2 inches long of it since he was a baby. He is 9 months now and I also give him 2 tablespoons Mybeau(not available in states). My vet says nutrical is not that great and its more like a treat. |
