| I would have some nutrical on hand just in case she becomes hypoglycemic (or karo syrup would be fine too). As long as she is eating okay..at least a little ever so often throughout the day, her blood glucose levels should be fine. If she isn't eating and starts to look hypoglycemic then you can rub a little nutrical or karo on her gums...but then it's important you get the puppy to actually eat something too. Eating is the best thing to keep blood glucose levels normal...nutrical should only be given if needed

| I'd keep some Nutrical on hand, but don't give it to her unless she's not eating.

| Just make sure that you provide your new pup with a very calm environment while it adjusts...no fun outings at first or comotion in the home or lots of visitors. Monitor the pup closely to make sure that it is getting plenty of rest and eating well in several intervals throughout the day. As long as you can do this, Nutrical/honey won't be needed. Congrats on your new addition! |
