Hi, I didn't take you wrong and I do appreciate you providing me with all the info you wrote.
I wanted to tell Pia's story to help explain why I do give the nutri-cal to her at night. I wanted everyone to know that sometimes with a dog her size giving a little lick at night is the best thing. I actually called my vet to ask about this again because I started to think I misunderstood her. However, she assured me that giving nutri-cal is perfectly safe. Basically said its like a better safe then sorry type of situation. Pia is so tiny and giving that before bed helps me sleep a tad better. It's been about 4 months since all that happened and I still get up through the night to check on her. Seeing her practically dead will forever haunt me. The entire situation has made me so overprotective of her. Perhaps nutri-cal isn't good for the normal dog but I don't consider Pia at 2 lbs. the normal dog. I hope everyones furbabies are in good health and don't need this stuff. I think this was a wonderful post started. It's obvious that a few different opinions are felt about this topic. I respect everyone's views but please understand why I do give my baby it still. Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year
