OxbowAnimal Health Critical Care, Herbivore, Anise Flavor, 141 Gram Bag (70100)

This is very good quality and should be in every emergency kit for your furry family memberIt's packed full of so good nutrients and helps recover your furry friendThe powder with a measuring spoon included in the pack is easy to mix with water and blends very wellLike for my Cheeto 🧡 he needs syringe feeding for a while after yesterday's dental surgery he slowly tried already to eat his normal food oxbow critical care is to help him and he like it very much because normally he can be a fussy eater

This is the best critical care I've used. Easy measuring and It goes into a lovely smooth paste and doesn't block up the syringe like others I've used. My rabbits seem to enjoy this one. It's expensive but worth every penny.

Oxbow critical care is my go to recovery mix for guinea pigs. High in fibre it has Timothy Hay as the main ingredient and has probiotics to maintain gut health. It is ideal for syringe feeding and unlike other products does not get compacted in the syringe. I have used it for multiple guinea pigs post-operation or when they are otherwise in poor health. It is very palatable and my healthy pigs are happy to eat it from the syringe if there is any left over.

Mixes up easily. Sustained my rabbit when she was poorly, unable to eat adequate kibble or most fresh food & recovering from dental surgery. She is a very fussy eater but happily tolerated syringe feeding so the food was obviously appetizing.

Essential product to have in a small animal first aid kit.I bought this for one of my guinea pigs to use as a supplement feed after some unexplained weight loss.It came with the measuring spoon, and the instructions are straightforward. The boar it was intended for isn’t too keen on the flavour. He will sometimes eat it if I mix it with a little banana or apple puree. My other boy loves this flavour though, so I think it’s down to their personal preference (and how fussy they are!)After having to buy 5 different recovery foods to figure out which one my boar would eat, I would strongly recommend trialing a few different types/flavours before a period of illness/an emergency so you know what they will willingly eat, and also so they are used to syringe feeding.

This is necessary for any guinea pig first aid/medical emergency kit! I always have one on hand in case they stop eating due to illness & they’ve saved my guinea pigs lives before. They’re expensive for what they are, but (fingers crossed) you shouldn’t need it often so it can last a while & it’s WAY cheaper to have your own on hand than buying the exact same thing in smaller quantities through a vet when needed, so I recommend buying to save in the long run.Mine seem to like the smell, but I usually have to add quite a bit more water than recommended and use a syringe for thicker fluids, it’s very effective when used as advised & can be the difference between life & death for pigs!

Helps feed guinea pig that is not eating

Perfect for poorly bunnies mixes really well
