I use NutraCal but I love Dr.Millers Pet Nutra Drops...it is a red liquid vitamin/glucose/calorie packed syrup...the dogs love it and it not nearly as messy/sticky/hard to give as NutraCal.....You can give 2cc of this every 4 hours and you are delivering more "good stuff" per dose with this stuff than with the NurtaCal. You can google it and buy it on line...I think it is about 14.00/bottle...the bottle is about 16 oz, I think....it will last a long time.....Just because a baby has issues with hypoglycemia does not automatically mean liver shunt...alot of these babies have that issue, but as they get older (3-4 months old) and get some size on them (usually around 3#) alot of them grow out of this....of course, if youhave one that starts out with hypoglycemia issues, you can not let them ever go long periods of time without eating...like all day long at a groomer....wait for more confirmation validated by tests, and resolve the parasite issue, before you start to worry about the dreaded "liver shunt"....
