The Oxbow Critical Care Apple & Banana is an industry-standard in recovery nutrition for herbivores who need additional support during times of illness or recovery.
Developed with the assistance of top exotics veterinarians and nutritionists, Critical Care contains all the essential nutrients necessary for recovery, as well as high-fibre timothy hay to support gut health and digestion.
This flavour of Critical Care features the delicious taste of Papaya, which is sure to entice even the most finicky eaters.
The addition of these flavours makes it easier to get herbivores to eat when they may not feel like eating, providing them with the essential nutrition they need to support proper gut physiology and digestion.

As a general guideline, mix 1 part Critical Care Fine Grind® to 3 parts warm water. The volume of water may be adjusted to obtain optimal feeding consistency. Amounts are general guidelines and should be adjusted based on patient condition. Divide daily amount into 4-6 servings, or as indicated by your veterinarian. Critical Care Fine Grind is best utilized with feeding tubes, 5 French or larger, including nasogastric tubes. Flush the tube thoroughly with warm water after each use to prevent the product from hardening and obstructing the tube. Water should be available to the animal at all times.
