| Nutrical alternative? Hi all, I was wondering if there is another good alternative to Nutrical? I can't seem to find the stuff in the German or French pet store. I am going again on Saturday with Brutus to get his harness fitted so I will have another look but any other suggestions? TIA |

| I have Fortical, which is pretty close, I got it from my breeder. I'm not sure if that would be over there though. Good luck in your search.

| Regular pancake syrup will do the trick. Be sure to feed him some puppy food right after to help sustain glucose level.

Can you tell me how often and how much I should give him? thanks so much! Thanks to the other responses too I will look for fortical also. **I have just found Nutrical online so I will order so it won't arrive until next but at least I have found it now. | |

| Nutrical should really only be given on an as needed basis. Learn what the signs are for hypoglycemia and be ready to intervene when necessary. If Brutus is not eating, then it can be an aid to get his appetite going. Like the others said...it is important to eat puppy food after to sustain his glucose level. I think the amount is very small....just a tiny bit on the end of your finger...pea sized. Good luck!
