| i need help? I bought dark karo syrup, because i ran out of nurtri-cal i also had codliver oil which is in nurti-cal so i've mix both karo- syrup and gave it too coby.. is this ok too use? also i read on line creamy peanutbutters ok for small puppies as well too keep them from going into Hypoglycemia, can someone please confirm this as being true or false ? also i dont know how much karo syrup to give too coby , during the day ...he 's putting on some weight and i don't believe for a minute he's 1.72 LBS anymore .. i need to have him weigh dose anyone know where i can take him too get weigh? besides the vets i'm sure their find a way too charge for something so small.. like weighing a pet, and let not forget their charge for the visit... i was thinking mybe petco might be willing too just weigh him...

Luv my 7 Furkids Donating Member | I have only heard of giving the clear karo syrup. Id be afraid the cod liver oil would give loose stools. If Petco has a scale Im sure they'd weigh your baby. Maybe someone else can give you better advise about the dark karo and cod liver oil. |

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | I would stay away from the peanutbutter - for the same reason that human babies can't have it until one year old - they could choke because the peanutbutter is sticky and hard for them to swallow.

| You can buuy a kitchen scale at a walmart or store like that fairly inexpensive to get a good idea of the weight.

| dark karo could make loose stools too. I just put light karo in their water. Is he a good eater? You could try goatsmilk and baby rice cereal. The canned goats milk. 1 part milk to 1 part water |

| Isnt Coby going to the vet every few weeks anyways? Laci got all her shots a few weeks apart, they weighed her each time!! If your going to run into petco to have Coby weighed you could get some nutrical there its fairly inexpensive!!

If you have a scale at home, you can weigh yourself, then hold Coby and weigh again. Subtract his weigh from yours...that should give you a good idea. I hope Coby is ok.

| The thing about weighing on your own scale is you may be 115 lb 2 oz and the pup may be 2 lbs 8 oz, so the scale may round off and say total 118 when in all reality Yorkie wait does make a difference in ounces to really keep track of them. JMO. I just found a scale on ebay for under $20 free ship and it can weigh a whole back of fruit...up to 11 lbs. So I can use it for multiple things and I'm sure I will. I think I'm gonna Buy it now, I'm looking to make sure no one on YT has one before I do though. Hugs and Kisses everyone!
