Now I need to know proper chinnie dosage: would a pea-sized blob be enough? Or is that too little?
And I understnad chins like it, but should it be administrered by syringe if they don't?

Neuro what I did with mine was.. at first I tried it straight out of the tube.. and I gave them just under a pea sized portion.. they didnt like it at first.. so what I did was put juuuust a little bit on the end of a raisin... they took it... and with in a few times of doing that they liked the nutrical.. Wooki LOVES it so much that he is such a pig with it.. lol.. he gobbles it up and wants more.. but he doesnt get more.. poor guy!! let us know if Cub likes it... and what you try to give it to her..

I used a popsicle stick when I first gave mine nutrical and they didn't like it much either. I then put it on shredded wheat. They take it from the tube now.

Thanks!! I will try it on both to see if she'll take it. Poor Cub, her teeth are so bad.

Neuro, I've tried both the raisin and the shredded wheat tricks, with most of the furballs going for the nutrical quickly. One guy, however, still doesn't like it. Fortunately, I've only felt a real need to give nutrical to him once. Then I ended up wiping a teeny tiny bit on his lips until he licked it off. His favourite treat is dried dandelion root, so I would have to put some on that to get him near the stuff. I'm so sorry that Cub is having such a bad time of it. I know it must be hard on both of you.
