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

Been absolutely amazing. My bunny is very very unwell and not eating. Been recommended this by multiple vets. Easy to use. My other two bunnies love the taste and keep licking it off her face! Definitely recommend having on hand. I’ll buy another shortly as a precaution!

We have used this for our guinea pigs for many years when they are not eating as normal, after it was originally recommended by Ellie - The Guinea Pig Vet. We always keep a sachet ready. Guinea pigs have to eat regularly, or gut stasis can occur, that can be fatal. If they are off their food (which should consist of 80% highest quality timothy hay), we feed four times a day in a 1ml syringe with the end cut off. We aim to get up to 10 syringes in if we can each feed, but don't ever force a guinea pig to feed that is not swallowing - just take your time between increments. It has got our guinea pigs through some serious medical conditions and is particularly invaluable post-op. Great stuff!

Does the job and got my bunny eating again within a day! Ofc, still speak to your vet if your pet is not eating

We always have at least one pack of these in reserve for our guinea pigs because you never know when something will go wrong. It is vitally important for syringe feeding sick piggies and has kept many of our pigs alive in times of despair. It takes some practice to get the consistency right but it's just a matter of adding water to it and using a syringe (multiple times to get enough!) so it's easy enough. All piggies are different so some take to it quite well and others tolerate it but once it's in their mouth they generally digest it pretty well. It is a bit expensive but it should hopefully last a long time and is for emergencies (or, as its named, critical care).

This is very good quality and should be in every emergency kit for your furry family member It's packed full of so good nutrients and helps recover your furry friend The powder with a measuring spoon included in the pack is easy to mix with water and blends very well Like 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

Oxbow animal care, is brilliant for my pets, excellent value, you really notice a difference when the tortoises are a bit sluggish, give them a bowl of this and watch them pick up, our dragon lizard loves it to, thank you.

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.

Essential item for my guinea pigs and rabbit if they become unwell to ensure they are getting food and nutrients

👌🏻

Un indispensable ! On apprécie l'évolution avec la mise en place d'une petite cuillère doseuse dans le paquet. Par contre, ce n'est jamais vraiment claire la quantité et la fréquence à laquelle l'administrer. Je l'utilise depuis des années et tous les cochons d'indes ont toujours adooooorés (cela aide énormément quand ils sont pas biens.. et cela permet d'être un bon indicateur pour suivre l'évolution de la maladie par exemple, s'ils refusent d'en manger ou réduise la quantité. Petite astuce/rappel, Après ouverture, à conserver au réfrigérateur. Perso, je fais bouillir un peu d'eau lorsque je le prépare, cela permet de vraiment de bien mélanger ce complément à l'eau ! La quantité d'eau est en fonction de la texture souhaitée. Si l'animal mange un peu par lui-même, une texture pâteuse est OK 👌 et à mettre dans une mini gamelle par exemple. Par contre, s'il ne veut pas seul, le "choc thermique" frais/chaud facilite énormément l'administration de ce complément avec les petites pipettes. Au début, je ne savais pas et j'avais l'impression qu'il y avait plus d'eau qui passer dans la pipette que de complément... 😅 +++ important +++ Familiariser et habituer ses animaux, au plus tôt, aux pipettes (en donnant ne serait-ce que de l'eau). Cela sera très important et fera la différence lors des périodes où ils seront malades (vous pourrez leur donner les pipettes en les laissant dans leurs cages) bon... Que certains médicaments 🙃 (si ça sent pas bon ou mauvais goût, ils se font rarement avoir deux fois ;))

This stuff is amazing and all our guinea pig would eat when he got sick. He got better fairly quickly with this and other care.

Todo correcto

Excellent product for my senior pet bunny who suffers gut stasis regularly. Highly recommend!!!
