Hi all, posting for a friend.
Where is the best place to buy nutri drops with quick delivery in the uk.

Her bitch is due within next ten days, her mentor had recommended glucose powder and water which I had not heard of using before during labour?  Was lurking around here and started reading about nutri drops.

I am helping with the birth of this toy breed so any advise on dosage and safety of them is really appreciated.

Thank you x

Just a word of warning, I've been given conflicting advice in the past about nutri drops, not to give them to new born pups as they are not suitable.  So please ensure you find out first.

You can give Puppystim to newborns. Advice on datasheet (on link).

I get mine from hyperdrug/canine chemist along with other essentials like Dopram V drops to stimulate breathing, they are very prompt with delivery.

I have given them to newborns, dams throughout labour and under the weather dogs with great results, lots of energy in a very small amount.

Hello, thank you for your response.

I don't think she was looking to use nutri drops on the new borns, but for the dam during her labour.

is it recommended to supplement on the hour?

i have heard the puppy stim can be a life saver.

she has excelled in all aspects of the breed specific recommended health testing, the puppies sire is a champ, lovely example of the breed, but the breeder tells her the dams mother was a VERY slow whelper, and her grandmother before that, she feels it may be hereditory and worries about her girl tiring as she has been scanned for four (although we know this can be unreliable).

this is her first litter so i am trying to assist her as best i can. her adviser / stud dog owner is on the end of the phone but lives the other end of the country so isn't available for hands on help.

thank you. x
