Just a pea size amount of the Nutrical will do 3-4 times per day. It is full of nutritional calories and so "Nutrical" is the beginning of both words. I'm not so sure the vet has paid enough attention. Did he do blood work to determine what her problem was? You are going to have to give her water from a dropper if she won't drink on her own. Stick it in the back corner of her mouth. This can be done with her mouth shut and you won't be stressing her out. She will drink as you slowly dispurse it. Start out with as many droppers as you can get her to drink (probably around 5-6). Then do this again a couple of hours later. She has to have the Nutrical and the fluids. Still make food available to her. Don't try giving her a bunch of stuff she has never had just to get her to eat, you will upset her stomach. If she doesn't seem better by tomorrow, I'd try another vet. Puppies do get sick for no reason, but you don't want to take any chances that this might be something serious. Please let us know how she is doing.
