Expired Nutrical? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone know when Nutrical expires, or how it looks? I was going to give some to Rocky today because he had diareahh and hasn't eaten at all (he's still running around and playing like normal though) When I stared to squeeze nutrical out of the tube, water came out of it, or atleast I think it was water..there was no smell (except the nutrical smell) or color to it. Other than that it seemed fine, except water build up. I bought it in the fall, I think september or october, and haven't used it in awhile either. Does anyone know if this is O.K to give him?

I just checked my tube of Nutrical. There is an expiration date stamped into the crimp at the end of the tube. On one side is the lot #, on the other is the expiration date. I bought mine last summer and the expiration date is 1/09. You are probably okay, it might just liquify a little depending on where you are storing it....

Mine's looked like that since I bought it. It expires in 2008. I think the ingredients just get seperated, and if you knead the tube a bit before opening it next time, it might help to remix the liquid back into it. Nothing wrong with it, I'm sure, especially since you said that it smells normal.

I hope your baby feels better

Just remember to much nutical will cause diarrhea. Try a little piece of cheese, that helps to bind.

I'm out of cheese

I just wanted to give him some nutrical because he wasn't eating. I tried to give him some rice, but he didn't want any, and I had no chicken breast to boil (I really need to go grocery shopping!)

Thanks for your advice everyone! I had it stored in my bedroom, then it moved to the counter in my bathroom somehow, but I did see the expiration date, and it's not until 08 or 09, so I think it's good. This morning before I left Rocky was acting fine, and when my bf got home from work Rocky went out and pooped solid, so he's all better..and he ate the rest of his food. I guess just an upset tummy yesterday. He still has gas though
