| How Much Nutrical is too much? I posted over in emergencies but did not get any replies. The vet said to give my very sick 15oz puppy who is 6 weeks 4 days 1CC of Nutrical every 4 hours.This seems like a lot. any advice? |

| I am so sorry your baby is sick. I cannot advise on how much is safe. I have just heard that if you give too much over a long period of time that it can make them more susceptible to hypoglycemia. What is wrong with your baby? |

| I would follow the advice of your vet. I am sure they looked up this information and it is also on the bottle. it is dosed mg/kg or mg/lb. When babies are really sick they usually get a higher dose than just a vitamin supplement will get.

| I wish I new. He was fine this morning but was tired today, then didn't eat and then had bloody stool. The vets were all closing but I rushed him into one that would wait for us. They checked for everything under the sun. Parvo, worms, We left with Flagyl and instructions that if he got any worse I will take him to the emergency vet. I'm still quite worried. |

| I am giving him water with chicken baby food and Nutrical. Small amounts often. I am going to go feed him again. I'll be in bed by 12:30 up at 230 430 and im up for the day at 6am I'll keep him well fed through the night and if he is not much better we will be back at the vet when they open. He is to small for all of this. |

| if they checked for worms then they also checked for coccidia as they are both checked by fecal.

1cc is 1ml of nutrical; it's not too much; but i really don't use nutrical. i add halo multivitamin to the food; and also if u are feeding the baby food; they have sugar in there so that should help with the blood sugar. however u should invest in a good multivitamin u can add to the food. i feed my dog the honest kitchen; which a great human grade food; check it out www.thehonestkitchen.com good luck

| I think 1CC is only 1/5th of a tsp. That's not very much! Watch out with the Flagyl - it causes loss of appetite, which is something you don't want right now.

| 1cc IS equal to 1/5 of a teaspoon ( I am a nurse for humans and mixed meds in ICU all the time). It is not a lot. I hope your pup gets well soon.
