Oxbow Animal Health Critical Care, Herbivore, Apple-Banana Flavor, 141 Gram Bag

The critical care was spoilt and it smelled weird.

It smelled kinda moldy and my rabbits who LOVED the exact same product and flavor a week ago from a different package did not like this one.. the expiry is in 2024 so something else must be wrong. They ultimately ate a little but stopped quickly. I hope it.doesnt harm them!

Siempre la compro por si se deja de comer mi conejito. Es un imprescindible en el botiquín de roedores

Oxbow Critical Care is one of those products I sincerely believe every rabbit, guinea pig, or small herbivore owner should keep in their emergency kit. When an animal isn’t eating on their own due to GI stasis, dental issues, illness, or post-surgical recovery, this can quite literally be a lifesaving product. The powder mixes easily with warm water to your desired consistency and works well for syringe feeding or bowl feeding. I appreciate that it’s timothy hay–based with essential vitamins and minerals, so it supports gut health while providing complete nutrition during recovery. The fiber content is exactly what you want when supporting a compromised digestive system. Palatability is also a big win here — even picky animals tend to accept it far better than expected, especially when warmed slightly or mixed to a smooth consistency. The resealable packaging helps keep it fresh, which is important since you may not use it daily. This is not meant to replace regular feeding long-term, but as a recovery or emergency support food, it’s unmatched. I’ve seen firsthand how valuable it is when time matters and an animal needs nutrition immediately Pros: High-quality, vet-recommended formula, easy to mix and syringe feed, supports digestive health, very appetizing to most small animals, essential to have on hand for emergencies, smells like a tropical green smoothie, large portions for the price, and varying hardness/thickness depending on the animals preference, and so much more! Cons: Should be fed as a directed and not as a daily food replacement, and hard to find in stock at times. Overall, Oxbow Critical Care absolutely earns its reputation. If you care for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, or other herbivores, this is a must-have product you’ll be grateful to have when you need it most. Highly recommended. 🐰💚

For ill or recovering small pets, like my degus, this stuff in invaluable. It can be diluted and syringed, but also fed in a thicker slurry without if they go for it, some, but not all, do. And the price is way better than the maxi multi markup at the vets. I always have a bag ready. Highly recommended.

Superb, really helped my poorly rabbit get better, great to always keep a pack for emergency care.
