I always have Nutrical on hand but only use it if I feel there is a need. A puppy that seems weak (and I am talking puppies I am raising under 12 weeks old), a dog that might be sick and not eating right, something like that. I would not just give it to a healthy weight puppy every day. Too much Nutrical can cause problems too. I have read it can cause diabetes -- nto sure but I have seen that posted. I give a disclaimer on that one as I don't have a good reference to pass on to you. But I would discuss the everyday use of Nurical and see if the vet sees a problem with that. I worry that the puppy's system may start to rely on that and not let its own system work as it should.

Sometimes they seem to be picky eaters, but a Yorkie puppy really does not eat much. Just make sure what they do eat is a great quality food. They can prefer the Nutrical and then not want to eat the much less sugary food. Remember Nutrical is basically sugar.

My youngest daughter had a miscarriage last week, and my oldest son got a girl pregnant and they aren't even a couple and neither are even sure he's the daddy. I can't take much more stress. I'm so worried about my kids. Miley has been such a god send to me. When I feel like my worries for my kids are overwhelming all I have to do is pick her up and smell her sweet puppy breath and I somehow have the strength to keep going. I don't know what to do to help my oldest daughter.

Her temp was down to 99 when i got her there..she was going into shock. I got her up from her nap to take her out and new immediately what was wrong, so I gave her Nutrical and flew out the door. The vet gave her more nutrical and science diet soft food and we sat there for two hours to make sure she was ok. He also gave her antibiotics just in case something else was going on because while she was there she had diareah which she hadn't had before.
She is so picky when it comes to food. I have to really encourage her to eat several times a day. I even get up through the night several times to try and encourage her to eat. I am so upset at myself for this happening. I really thought I was doing all I could to keep this from happening. I don't know what else to do to keep this from happening again.
I have been going through so much here lately and Miley has been so helpful in cheering me up. I can't lose her.
