Oxbow Critical Care for herbivores

Product Information

If you find yourself with extra Critical Care once your animal has recovered and your vet gives the ok to stop syringe feeding, there are some fun and unique ways to use the leftover powder. To make mealtime more mentally enriching for your pet, try stuffing hay into hideouts or other “safe to chew” containers, such as toilet paper or paper towel rolls. Many pet parents find it easiest to syringe feed their kiddos while sitting. This allows their little ones to securely sit on their lap or the floor in front of them. Others find it easiest to stand with their pet positioned on a table or countertop.

Some pets will eat Critical Care products directly from a dish, but for most, hand or syringe feeding is the best option. There are a number of clinical applications or issues your pet may experience that could lead your veterinarian to recommend a recovery product such as Critical Care. Some of these applications might include: Your veterinarian is the appropriate expert to determine if Oxbow’s Critical Care products are appropriate for your pet’s current condition. In some cases, a pet’s visible symptoms are symptomatic of a more serious underlying condition. Without a proper diagnosis, your pet runs the risk of having their condition worsen.

In some instances, your veterinarian may determine that a product specially-formulated to provide complete nutrition in times of illness or convalescence (such as Oxbow’s Critical Care) may be appropriate to improve your pet’s health.

Except in particular cases under veterinary care, Critical Care should not be added to the milk, but fed separately at the consistency of mousse or porridge. Addition to milk will result in less energy being offered to the wombat, and thus a greater volume will be required. As the wombat stomach is small, it is less likely to get sufficient energy before it feels full if added to milk.Always choose an age-appropriate food formulated specifically for rats. Our Essentials Mouse & Young Rat Food is ideal for rats under six months of age, and our Essentials Adult Rat Food is recommended for adult rats.

Some rabbit behaviours can seem rather strange. For example, you may see your rabbit eat its own poop. This is a normal, healthy behaviour that provides essential vitamins and nutrients. SUPPLIES FOR YOUR RABBIT The teeth of rabbits and guinea pigs never stop growing, making it critical to provide a proper diet centred around hay.

Supports Key Nutritional Needs: Fibre is key to your small herbivore’s health. Having access to multiple varieties of hay encourages consumption throughout the day, making sure your pet consumes enough fibre to stay healthy. All pets benefit from some variety in their diet – especially when it comes to hay. There a number of important benefits to providing a variety of grass hays. Here are the top five reasons to offer a variety of hays for your pet’s health. Hay is harvested using a series of simple mechanical processes. These include: mowing, tedding, raking, and baling. Oxbow hay is mowed when it is determined that the nutrients are at optimum levels to support small animal health. Mowed hay is organized into large swaths, or rows, in the field. Next, a process called tedding fluffs up the cut hay, promoting curing and drying. Once hay has been tedded and is nearly dry, it is raked (flipped over) to dry the underside and form a windrow. The final step in the hay harvest process is baling. The baling process mechanically compacts hay into large bales. Hay Anatomy 101 Seed Step 4 – Mix the feed If you are using a syringe to feed your pet, add 2 parts water to 1 part Critical Care® Herbivore If you are using a spoon to feed your pet, add 1.5 parts water to 1 part Critical Care® Herbivore Always choose an age-appropriate pellet formulated specifically for rabbits. Our Essentials Young Rabbit Food is ideal for rabbits under one year of age.

Be prepared for your pet’s visits by making a list of any questions or concerns you may have ahead of time. Many rat health problems are preventable with proper diet and care. To locate a qualified exotics veterinarian near you, visit aemv.org Step 2 – Determine the total amount of Critical Care® Herbivore needed for your pet per day based on their weight Will your animal be eating additional foods? A suggested daily ration of 3 tablespoons per kg of body weight per day (small herbivorous mammal) or 1 tablespoon per kg of body weight per day (small herbivorous reptile) is generally appropriate for an animal that is also eating additional foods. Will your animal be eating 100% Critical Care ® Herbivore? Refer to the table below for daily ration. Your vet can assist you in determining the correct daily portion for your animal based on total foods being consumed. The addition of high sugar or high fat ingredients to the diet of wombats may be detrimental in that it may favour the growth of less desirable bacteria that prefer those conditions, and not those adapted to a high fibre diet.
