Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore, Emergency Guinea Pig Food, Rabbit Food for Recovery, Natural Apple Banana Flavor, Veterinary Formula, Critical Care for Guinea Pig Emergency Kit, Made in USA, 141 Grams

Really helps when your animal won’t eat. Easy to mix just follow directions. Had everything they need in it.

This stuff works amazingly. My bunny was having trouble pooping. I gave him just one serving of this and iv never seen him poop so much in the 10 years that I have had him. Really helps the digestive system. Definitely recommend.

I got this for emergency base for guinea pigs. Comes really fresh, there is no hardness to it, the first couple of stages is not chewable but as you make it thicker guinea pigs will chew it up. Works very well when your in a critical moment with a baby. Always have on hand if your breeding guinea pigs or own them. Good for babies in need or much older piggies who are having a hard time eating due to age. I also use this for wildlife.

I would say this product really helps because I gave it to my bunny and it helped her feel better. While unfortunately she passed I brought this critical care a bunch.

This product most definitely just saved my bunny’s life! She was not eating, moving, or pooping for 36 hours. She was most definitely in GI stasis. I was panicking trying to figure out what to do to make her feel better. I tried this and almost immediately after, she started drinking water and eating bits of hay. By the next day she was eating and running around like normal again. I am so grateful for this stuff, I recommend to always have this on hand in case of emergencies with your small pet.

I got this and the Strawberry Banana Flavor Oxbow Critical Care in anticipation of any illness in my guinea pigs since their health usually declines rapidly once they show signs of illness. One of my females has been having trouble with an infection (likely a re-occuring UTI due partly to having an abnormal bladder) and we had to wait for a bacteria culture to be tested so she could be placed on an appropriate antibiotic for treating it. During this time, she began eating less and seemed miserable. She began pooping from eating less and I began to fear GI stasis. Her vet recommended starting her on Critical Care and hand-feeding her veggies to ensure she was eating something. I started feeding her some Strawberry Banana Critical Care and she did not care for it. I called the vet and asked if there was anything else I could do. She recommended mixing in baby food (consisting of veggies or fruit) with it to entice her. I tried this and she nibbled on some but didn't appear to be as interested as I would have liked. I knew she did have an appetite because I got her to eat a whole serving of bell peppers.I then opened this bag of Fine Grind Critical Care and she just nibbled at it until I mixed in vegetable based baby food. She began to eat it vigorously. I have since been mixing some in this manner and placing it in her cage in a guinea pig food bowl. She will eat most of it on her own.I believe it has helped to keep her eating and consuming a decent amount of essential nutrients, along with helping her to avoid developing GI stasis. I am still offering pellets, a daily serving of fresh vegetables, and unlimited hay along with this, but I do see a difference in how active she is since I added this product to her diet.If you have guinea pigs, I would definitely recommend getting some of this to have on hand in case of illness as guinea pigs are notorious for having their health decline rapidly when they are ill. As soon as you notice any sign of lethargy or less eating, it can be beneficial to begin feeding this until you can be seen by a vet as guinea pigs need to constantly keep their gut moving and this is loaded with nutrients that can help them improve more quickly. This is also good to have on hand if your guinea pig has recently had a surgery as it can give them an extra boost and possibly aid in a faster, more uneventful recovery.

My bunny's health is not well at this time. After doing a google search I decided to try this product. It's a decent size and the value for my money was fair. She's been on it for about a week and I can already see a difference in her appearance. She seems to be functioning better especially her hopping.

I have been feeding this to my elderly chinchilla (Ernie) every day, several times a day for nearly 6 months, and a few times before that, and it is truly a lifesaver. Last year he developed malocclusion with retrograde roots, and it causes him a lot of pain in his mouth and jaw. While he can still eat his pellets, he can't eat quite enough (and can't eat hay) and was losing weight until I started regularly feeding him Critical Care. He loves the taste (I sometimes mix in Fine Grind, too, since he REALLY likes that), and he'll willingly eat it from the syringe whenever I offer it to him. When I need to be gone for a while, I can also form the CC into a sort of dough and make him little "pancakes" that he can eat throughout the day. My vet is astounded at how well Ernie is doing considering his malocclusion, and commented that, were it not for the CC and my dedication, he would almost certainly be dead by now. As it is, Ernie is happy and healthy and playful, and maintains a healthy weight.Only complaint is that leftover CC can gunk up your pipes if rinsed down the sink, so be careful and rinse it down well. Quality wise and usefulness wise, though, this stuff is fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone whose herbivorous rodents are sick or having trouble eating.
