Think of it as giving a kid a candy bar, or "energy bar" before dinner. It decreases the appetite for more nutritious food. However, if a dog is experience an episode of low blood sugar, you want to cure if fast and this is when you should use Nutri-cal. Make sure they have some protein as soon as possible, because the protein will keep the blood sugar stable. Here are some symptoms of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia Symptoms and Treatment | Thanks Nancy! You are such a great help and I love all your advices!
