My husband took Candy to the vet today for me. Vet said her heart sounded good, In time he felt her legs would straighten out completely (toddles a bit) He said I needed to give her time to develop some more muscle before we decided what we will do next. He said her legs were to tiny at this point to tell anything and wanted to wait to do anything more. My husband told him I was giving her nutrical a couple times a day and he said he would rather I would slack off of that and give 1/2 cc of LIXOTINIC daily to build blood cells, its also a supplement vtamins/iron with a corn syrup base. Its supposed to releive stress and increase appetite. Her gums were a bit pale and thats what concerned me. I hope she doesnt have an underlying condition. One dose of that stuff this evening and she was barking growling, spinning in circles and chewing on a stuffed animal three times her size and pulling it around the kitchen!! She weighed in there at 11 ozs at 9 weeks, I got 12 oz at home on my postal scale.
I just wondered if anyone else is familair with this supplement?
