Soo I literally JUST went to the store and got some nutrical for puppies. It came in a little tube (kinda like toothpaste) and says 1/4 teaspoon daily (basically a lil dollup on my finger). Before I give him any, is this meant for puppies ONLY when they might need it or should I give him a lil dose each day to keep him healthy?
I also picked up some of the rubber finger pads that came with some toothpaste for puppies. His vet showed me how to brush his little teeth and said I should get him used to it, how many times a week do you all brush your puppies teeth?
Also (sorry for all the questions, I'm just so paranoid about making sure I'm doing everything right!), I wanted to make sure it IS good to keep his food dish in his cage overnight. I read somewhere that pups need to eat every 3 hours and I don't want him to go into hyperglycemic shock while I'm sleeping. The first few nights I didn't keep his food dish in there and he went poo poo like clockwork every morning at 6:00 am outside. Well last night, because I read its important to keep his food in there with him, he pooped in his cage at 4:30 am
Just want to see what you all think about that. Thanks soo much for your help!!
