contents With the aid of Hensel Lemma, we refine the 2-adic Newton polygon algorithm proposed by Magron, Koprowski, and Vaccon at ISSAC 2023 to express computationally a given positive univariate polynomial with rational coefficients as a sum of five squares of rational polynomials -the effective Pourchet's Theorem- and extend it to cover almost all the possible inputs. We also provide examples which are covered with our methods but cannot be detected by previous conjectural algorithms.
