| Nutri-Cal The vet said to only give it for emergency, but I thought its a daily thing for a puppy yorkie. So how often should Joel have it especialy since he wont eat in the morning? Its 1:30pm and he barely eaten anything. So shouldnt he have it every morning? |

| I know I used it everyday till today.. but is their a reason why your vet told you only emergency? is your baby dehydrated?what did your vet say about your pup not eating? is your pup taking in water? I feel is their is a problem you can always consult with another vet. I give Brandy a pea size with breakfast and dinner..good luck let us know what is said..

| I dont think theres a reason they say that, they prolly just dont know. He eats and drinks fine all day just the morning time is the problem, just now he decided hes ready to eat and its after 2pm! He doesnt act lethargic or anything, he wakes up plays some and takes another nap and then eats, but thats why I think I should give him nutrical in the morning for when he eats so late. And all they say aboit him not eating is that he wont starve himself and just bring him in if im worried. But I think hes fine and hes just not a morning eater. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Nutrical should not be part of a healthy yorkies daily requirement. How much does Joel weigh and how old is he? Do you free-feed? Yorkies being so small don't have big appetites and he may do better with several small meals or allowed to free-feed. Young puppies will nap after playing. As long as your vet thinks he is healthy, he acts healthy, is pooping, peeing, playing and sleeping okay, I wouldn't give Nutrical.

| Hmm..only in emergency? I give it to Jack occasionally, like maybe a tad every other day or so....If he doesn't eat as much one day, I'll give him some, but I don't give him a set amount every single day. I thought it was really good for yorkies and small dogs though and it was good to give them, esp as pups?
