Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore Fine Grind contains the same essential nutrition as Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore, but in a finer particle size made to flow easily through nasogastric feeding tubes as small as 5 Fr.

Indications for use

Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore Fine Grind is a premium recovery food for herbivores with poor nutritional status. This specialized formula contains all the essential nutrients of a complete diet as well as high fiber timothy hay to help support normal gut physiology and digestion. It is designed to be used through feeding tubes in addition to traditional methods. Good for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, tortoises, iguanas, and other herbivorous species.

Administration and dosage

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.
