Another note about the use of nutrical, my vet recommended that instead of only using it if you see the symptoms of hypoglycemia, in my case I was told to use it twice a day for two weeks as a preventative measure. I think it depends on the size of the dog. I believe a smaller sized yorkie is more susceptible to hypoglycemia than compared to a larger one. All that was needed was a blob of it on my fingertip when giving the nutrical. It is nice though to get to the point where they've grown a bit and are no longer such a small little puppy so that way you no longer have to worry about hypoglycemia and giving nutrical. Well I suppose a person still kinda worries about it but hypoglycemia is not so much a concern with an older and larger yorkie. But it's definitely on my mind with a little tiny puppy. I've heard of people having their puppy die from it. It's heartbreaking.
