High quality dog food (should I wet it)?, an airline approved carrier, crate,playpen and yes-a dog stroller. I am so worried about hypoglocemia that I want her with me as much as possible. we lost our first and only yorkie several years ago and I cannot go through that again. Also, I bought the gel to give her once a day to help control her blood sugar. Where did you find the pet insurance? Have you even bothered starting potty training yet? Sorry-I have a thousand questions  |
Are you referring to Nutrical? A daily dose does not help control blood sugar. Although many breeders and people recommend scheduled doses of it, this is not necessary. It really is for when the dog is actually exhibiting signs of hypoglycemia. Also, it must be followed up with a protein, a little real food (I think within 20 -30 minutes?) or it sets up the pup to relapse faster.
As long as a puppy is eating well, a dose of Nutrical is not necessary. I never had to use it.
