We used the nutracal with our first one...........b/c she would have low blood sugars. However with our second one I have favored using yogurt in am and pm and we haven't had any low blood sugar episodes using this method. Again......we used the yogurt as a prevention, not as a treatment for a low blood sugar. It is always better to avoid low blood sugars if you can. Also, I def. agreed, when treating for a low blood sugar with nutralcal/honey etc. always follow up with food, it helps to prevent a rebound effect that would present with another low blood sugard episode. One other thing, if your puppy is not responding enough to lick/eat and you think it is a low blood sugar, take jelly/honey etc and rub it on her/his gums, they will absorb some of it that way also.
