Oxbow Animal Health Critical Care Herbivore Fine Grind – Papaya Flavour is a veterinary recovery diet specially designed for small herbivorous animals requiring assisted feeding or tube feeding during illness, surgery, or recovery. This advanced formula delivers the same complete nutrition as standard Critical Care, but with a finer particle size that allows it to flow smoothly through feeding tubes as small as 5 French, making it ideal for delicate or critical patients.
Small herbivores such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other exotic pets can quickly develop life-threatening complications if they stop eating. Critical Care Fine Grind provides high-fibre nutrition based on Timothy hay, helping maintain normal gut motility and supporting proper digestive physiology during recovery.
The finely milled powder mixes easily with warm water to achieve the desired feeding consistency and can be used for tube feeding, syringe feeding, spoon feeding, or self-feeding in a bowl. Because of the smaller particle size, it is particularly suitable for young animals, weak patients, or cases requiring nasogastric feeding tubes.
The formula is high in fibre and low in carbohydrates, ensuring optimal digestive support while delivering essential vitamins, minerals, and energy. It also contains readily absorbable chelated minerals and beneficial prebiotics that promote gut health and nutrient absorption during recovery.
Trusted by veterinarians and exotic animal specialists worldwide, Oxbow Critical Care Fine Grind helps support gastrointestinal health, weight maintenance, and recovery nutrition in herbivorous pets.
