I also purchased the nutri-cal for him  He is on Royal Canin yorkie puppy, the vet suggested wetting it and that has worked, he is eating!
I am so thankful that I found these forums, thank you thank you thank you!

You can also take the Royal Canin kibble and put it in a grinder and grind it up, not as fne as a powder, but into course consistancy like short grain rice...or kernals of corn.....They get more bang for their buck if they can get smaller pieces at a time....I use a coffee grinder to pulverize the kibble ito tiny little pieces....tiny little babies get tired out trying to chew up evenlittle kibble....if you are softening it in water, you wont need to do this...but later, when he gets older, you can always pulverize the kibble for him to manage easier....I am so happy he is doing well for you now...just remember, diarrhea and vomiting for over 24 hours maximum....to the vet ASAP, without delay, as these little ones can go down and die very quickly. Any lethargy, or "drukenness behavior", staggering, even cold ears...all indicitive of low blood sugar...give the NutraCal immediately.
