Mary, you're right about the Nutri-Drops being fast absorbing and I have used them in the past. I tend to not recommend it due to the low dosage needed compared to other products. It's very easy for someone to over-do it if they're not familiar with it. That, and the fact that it usually has to be ordered and most people need something that is easily available.
Not sure if you read the whole thread, but the OP posted that she had gotten Molly to eat some kibble since her first post. That's great and is what you would expect in a 10 week old pup.
I think the confusion over what meds the baby was getting was from a post made by someone else. I had never heard of anything but albon being used for coccidia until I came on this site. |
I understand what you're saying. Everyone has their methods of doing things. I usually don't recommend Karo (but in small doses) or NutriCal. Reasoning.....if given too much and in larger doses; NutriCal can cause diarreah as can Karo.....as well as contributing to the possibility of diabitis.
I did see where Molly ate some kibbles. But, based on Molly's owner information, she was still having a bit of a struggle to get her to eat more readily. The Gerber's Rice Cereal recommendation was in efforts to boost the pups energy level and getting the pup to eat on it's own more readily. I still have one that is a wee one eating kibbles & puppy food as well as Gerber's rice cereal at 18 weeks of age.
