Donating YT 10K Club Member | Yes those are all fine. Once she's a little bigger you won't have to continue with the nutri-cal. Welcome to yt and we'd love to see pictures of your baby.

| If you feed you yorkie with dry food there is no need to give Nutri-Cal.Honey can be also voided. If there is no sign of shacking legs and loss of appetite, please, refrain from giving all of that to your puppy. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Hi welcome to Yorkitalk, Nutri-Cal is usually given to treat hypoglycemia. Nutri-Cal contains mostly sugar with a miniscule amount of vitamins thrown in to make it sound better. It's the same thing as Karo syrup except for the tiny amount of vitamins. Dogs under three pounds often suffer from hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is common in puppies because they have not fully developed the ability to regulate their blood glucose concentration and have a high requirement for glucose. Stress, cold, malnutrition, and intestinal parasites are problems that may precipitate a bout of juvenile hypoglycemia. Toy breed dogs less than three months of age are most commonly affected. Symptoms include drowsiness, shivering, collapsing, disorientation, seizures, listlessness, depression, muscle weakness, white gums, and tremors. Not all the symptoms will necessary be shown. For more information see: Hypoglycemia Symptoms and Treatment
