I personally would drop the Nutri-cal and only use the Esibilac powder . The Nutri-cal can cause diaherra that you may not see due to Dam's cleaning the pup.

I would also call my vet and get instructions on tube feeding. This is the best way to get the right amount of food in. Its not really that hard to do and can be a life saver.

Make sure the pup is warm enough. They can't digest food if they are even a little cool.

I hope the pup does better for you.
