Those are my thoughts for the day, lol. Thanks again!  |
Hi,
No question is dumb, so don't hesitate to ask. You can get a million opinions on here and weigh them all and decide what you want to do.
The instructions are in the box for Nutri-Cal. I would give mine about an inch on my finger by placing it in their mouth. They all love the taste so you don't have to worry about them not liking it. I can't remembe offhand just how often it can be given - the instructions or someone else here may remember. It probably wouldn't hurt to use it for a few days during your puppy's transition to his/her new home. All of them don't have hypoglycemia. It is high in nutrients, so you don't want to give too much or your puppy might not want to eat.
I have never used crate training, so I can't answer any of your questions about that, but I have heard that yorkies will poopy in their crates FYI.
Are your stairs carpeted?
Mine was going up a couple of 5-inch stairs to get in my back door the first week I had her!
They are carpeted and quite wide and it was so funny to watch her. She used her little baby needle-sharp toenails to climb up them. I was always right there with her. I didn't dream she would be able to get up them that soon. Now she takes stairs like it's nothing. We don't have any other stairs at the house, but we run into stairs at other places.
You will just want to be careful and you may want to use child-proofing along the banisters if you have an open stairway so your puppy can't fall off.
Hope this helps just a little...
