First of all, welcome to Yorkietalk!!! Nutrical comes in a tube and is a nutrition-rich supplement often fed to yorkies (and other animals) who are sick or prone to hypoglycemia. A lot of owners use it to maintain general health during puppyhood too. I have not seen it in petstores here in Alabama (go figure.) But, your vet should have some available.
I have seen a post on here about which anesthetic should be used -- do a search for "anesthetic" in the forum search. I'll try to find it too. My vet uses only one anesthetic and I think it starts with an 's.' He this one anesthetic for all surgical procedures on all animals. I don't plan to neuter right now, so it's not an issue, but there's always the possibility Luca Dean will have to have surgery, so I need to know the answer to this ? too!!!!
Again, welcome! We hope to see pics of your baby soon.

A needless death because either the vet did not know about the needs of toy dogs, or the owner did not know that using a cheaper anesthetic could cost the dog his/her life. Please make sure that the proper anesthertic is used for your baby and don't fool with their life. I know that usually the humane societies and maybe even some shelters do it much cheaper than a vets, but you still have to make sure it is done right. I only costs a small amount for the injectable anethetics compared to the cost of the gas that is safe for our babies. |
