I have on hand for chinchilla with teeth problems and for my others. It keeps fresh well. You can change the texture and consistency with water. Good to have for emergencies. Glad I could finally get it

5.0 out of 5 stars Feed this to your elder buns!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
When bunnies age it's hard for them to keep weight which leads to other ailments. I've started feeding this 2x daily to my buns when they age to around 9 years and keep them on it until we have to say goodbye. Thus far it's extended my bunnies' lives, one lived to be over 9 years old (amazing for a large breed), one of my bonded pairs lived to be over 12 years old, I currently have another bonded pair who are a lively 10 years old, and one single 9 year old. ALL are still very healthy besides the normal aging which comes naturally (arthritis and blindness). I mix it to a thick paste and make small bite-sized pieces on a paper towel and feed in the morning and night as a "treat". They love it, and it keeps them at a healthy weight as well as keeping away digestive, skin, and hair issues. I simply can't say enough about Critical Care, it has allowed me to have more loving years with my buns, which is simply immeasurable!

This is a wonderful product I had to guinea pigs they were very sick and they would not eat in the Veterinary. He’ll charge me $58 for a little bag. The same size is this bag. This is an amazing product. My guinea pigs loved it. I actually had to stop them from eating. They love this so much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Convenient and Nutritious, but Guinea Pigs Prefer Another Flavor
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2023
So, the Oxbow Animal Health Critical Care in Apple-Banana Flavor? It's a breeze to whip up for my guinea pigs when they need a little TLC. Super convenient!

But here's the scoop - my furry pals seem to have a flavor preference, and it's not this one. They munch it down without a fuss, but it doesn't quite get the same 'happy wiggle' reaction as the other flavor does.

Nutrition-wise, it's solid, and preparing it is a no-brainer. Just know, if my guinea pigs had a say, they'd be voting for the other flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vet told me to put my bunny down
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2022
The media could not be loaded.
My Rabbit lost the use of his back legs, he is 11 years old. So quick story my rabbit had gotten dental disease. This is were he lost a lot of weight became weak. We got that under control. He was getting back to normal. And then all of sudden one of his legs started showing weakness. So I was going on vacation, so I boarded him at the vet. I had informed the vet tech that he needs help getting to his food and water but he will drink and eat on his own if you help him. I even asked if they could use the joint drops while he was there and she said no because he was already on lots of medication. Now I understand they can’t monitor all the time. But when I came back he was a lot worse they were letting him lay on his side and not helping him up. I had watched many videos were they tell you to help correct their posture and help put them in a seated position. (How they normally do) which I had been doing and slowly it was helping with his balance. But once I got him back he had no use of his legs his back legs they would go right and his front legs would go left. While he laid. He couldn’t stand at all. And couldn’t walk. My vet told me he’s old and it would be best just to put him down. I was stunned and said I needed to think about it. And for the time being I would do nursing care. I was using critical care and tube feeding him. And when I brought him home he ate 40 mm worth in one sitting (4 syringes full). So when I saw him over the course of a week eating so much he was getting 40-50 mm per feeding 3 times a day. And he would go crazy for the food. I couldn’t justify putting him down, with him eating and drinking the way he was. So I wanted to try other options. I don’t entirely know if this is what’s just helping my rabbit but I’m trying multiple things AND LET ME TELL YOU. As of right now my rabbit is slowly starting to walk again and even was hopping and running in my living room. I started crying. So I’m hoping my story can help others. I used joint stress drops in his critical care. I would put 5 drops per feeding. He also was getting the joint treats oxbow. I also bought NHV they are little pricey but it goes a long way. I got the old timer and turmeric (for arthritis). He is also still on some medication from the vet. I added a picture of my schedule of exactly what I did.

Now this didn’t happen overnight and in fact it took over a month. The video is literally a month from when he went to the vet and was boarded. I don’t want to get my hopes up cause I do know my rabbit is old. But as of right now he has completely turned around and has even been eating and drinking his water on his own. He wasn’t able to stand beforehand and would fall over and knock his food and water bowl over. I had to tube feed him water at one point cause he was dehydrated. I will continue to use the critical care for extra nutrients. And hopefully my routine can help someone else’s little bunny. Don’t always listen to the vet (I’m not knocking them down completely) because they did get his dental disease under control and cleared out his cyst he had. But sometimes trying other options never hurt.

We took in a hatchling Sulcata that had been recued from a dog. It was in bad shape and did not think it would make thru the night. I had this over nighted and began tube feeding. Within days he began improving. Can't say enough about this stuff. I tried the Emeraid Sustain Life Herbivore mix and it was just too clumpy/chunky for the feeding tube. Consistently clogged tube. Was a Nightmare. Critical Care is all I will ever use from now on and will always keep a bag on hand for emergencies. I can honestly say the only reason the little fella is still alive is because of Critical Care...
