| Thanks for the advise on the calcium supplements. I called one vet and he said that he thought it would be alright to supplement calcium but he doesn't deal with a lot of yorkies and couldn't tell me if there was anything that would effect the breed, so I'm not stopping there. Soooo, I've called my other vet and he should be getting back to me this evening. One more question though...has anyone used Esbilac Milk Replacement? Also if y'all could see the attachment, I found the Ready-to-Feed version and the nipple is a little bit smaller than Koko's nipples. Will this work as a nurser? Has anyone tried this? |

| Which do you use or recommend? I did ask my vet and he suggested Science Diet P.D. for puppies and lactating bithches. I haven't looked it up on the internet yet but it's Science Diet again. I think the reason I started using it in the first place was upon his recommendation. |

| I used honey for a couple of years, then when I started working for the vet I work for now, he said the best over the counter fix to use is Karo syrup. It doesn't have the caramel coloring, (which usually has a minute amt of caffein in it) plus the sugar level is higher so it works better, especially for a pup who is already having sugar issues, and will help with the ones who don't to not get sugar issues. It sure saved my little guy. Now I get dextrose and use that.

| One more question though...has anyone used Esbilac Milk Replacement? Also if y'all could see the attachment, I found the Ready-to-Feed version and the nipple is a little bit smaller than Koko's nipples. Will this work as a nurser? Has anyone tried this? [/QUOTE] That nipple will be fine. After about 2 1/2 weeks I used a Gerber newborn nipple on that bottle and it worked really well with the pups. The smaller nipple they kept rejecting. I tried almost every nipple out there too I used the Just Born formula though. Petco sells it. My vet said the protein in the just born is better than the Esbilac but I know different things work for different people. If you need something that you dont have in Hawaii let me know I will be there next week and I could bring it down. |
