Critical Care Carnivore, Made with Whole Egg & Dried Chicken, Assist Feeding Formula for Carnivores, Cat Supplements, Ferret Food Recovery, Small Animal Pet Products, Made in USA, 70 Gram Bag

I’ve been using Oxbow Critical Care Carnivore to syringe feed my 13-year-old cat during a period when she wasn’t eating well on her own, and I’m very thankful to have this product. The powder mixes easily with warm water to create a smooth consistency that works well for syringe feeding. I like that it’s calorie-dense, because she doesn’t need a large volume to get meaningful nutrition, which is important when energy and appetite are low. The ingredient profile gives me peace of mind as it’s made with animal-based proteins like whole egg and chicken, which feel appropriate for a carnivore. While my cat wasn’t drawn to the taste on her own, she tolerated it well when fed slowly, and it helped me feel confident that she was getting nourishment during a difficult time. This is definitely something I recommend keeping on hand, especially for senior cats or situations where assisted feeding becomes necessary. It’s clearly designed for recovery support and feels like a thoughtfully made product. Pros: • Mixes smoothly for syringe feeding • Calorie-dense so smaller amounts go further • Animal-based protein formula • Helpful to have on hand for emergencies or recovery I think this has been a helpful tool in caring for my older cat, and I’m glad I had it available when we needed extra nutritional support.

When our ferret was recently diagnosed with insulinoma, we were overwhelmed and worried about keeping her nutrition balanced and energy up. Critical Care Carnivore has been an absolute game changer. It mixes easily into a smooth, palatable formula that she actually enjoys, which is no small feat when dealing with a picky or sick ferret. The high-quality, highly digestible protein from egg and chicken has kept her strength up, and we’ve noticed a big improvement in her alertness and overall comfort. It’s gentle on her stomach, easy to syringe feed when needed, and provides the complete nutrition she can’t always get from regular meals anymore. This product has given us peace of mind knowing she’s getting the best possible support during such a challenging time. If you have a ferret with health issues, especially insulinoma, I can’t recommend Critical Care Carnivore enough. It’s truly been a lifesaver for our little one.

This stuff worked. I had a rescue reptile that had gone off food I was nursing back to health. Also, used on a gravid female leopard gecko who went off food for over 4wks to make sure she had nutrients (she was making eggs which takes a lot of energy and reserves of calcium - poor things go through this even if never bred or even seen a male) i mixed this stuff runny enough to put in a very small syringe (NO needle) so i could drip the mixture on their lips and tip of nose (stay away from nostril holes) and they lick it off. These reptiles and a pac-man frog did very well and came around. The stuff was recommended by our exotic vet. It seems expensive but keep mind you get a good amount your going to mix in water so it goes a long way how I was using it and I store mine in the refrigerator so it will last longer. It is easy to mix and the animals seem to like the flavor. The bag zip locks shut so cut just the top open (don’t tear it like I did all crooked, and I use a scoop and keep that in the bag, heck it might have came with the scoop. Sorry can’t remember I have so many different things like this for my 21 rescues I can’t recall. I will warn you this stuff smells awful, reminded me of a chew my puppy had once, after they chewed on it and got it wet, was awful (hoof - gross, I know). Both reptiles and pac-man frog responded well and regained their appetite.

My darling kitten was diagnosed with wet FIP-- an incurable and fatal condition that should have killed her over a month ago. Instead of dying, she's come back to life. She's hilarious, energetic, sassy, and affectionate. In the past two weeks, she went from glassy-eyed and vacant to bright and alive. She's eating, drinking, voiding normally, and is still completely herself. This is not the only product I'm using to try to save her from this hideous disease. But I credit this with resurrecting her appetite. She has always been picky, and now even more so since she became ill. But this stuff? It smells like dead things. And she absolutely loves it. I mix it with another high-calorie supplement, some of her high-quality wet food, ionic silver, and a powdered vitamin/probiotic formulated for kitties. And because she loves this stuff so much, it's getting her to eat all of this other stuff that I was previously having to force-feed her. Now she's motivated to eat and is even eating her hard food in addition to this smelly nutrient sludge that I create. (I'm also giving her turmeric in fish oil as well as CBD oil, but I give those separately.) So no, this isn't the only product that is extending her life. But it makes her so excited to eat, to the point of running around in a frenzy when I go to mix the stuff. It is highly nutritious. It's one of TWO high-calorie supplements I could find that didn't have corn syrup/malt syrup listed as the first two ingredients. (Seriously?!?) And it's helping me to save her, or at the very least to provide her with a high quality of life way beyond when she was supposed to live. Giving a sick animal (or person) high-quality nutrition and the motivation to eat is the greatest gift you can give and is the best chance at health. I'm delighted that I found this stuff.

One of my ferrets lost her hair a lot. I started to feed raw egg yolk mixed with ground turkey and this Oxbow Carnivore. It works like crazy after a month. My ferrets are healthier than ever!

We've been using this for our savannah monitor, who has been off his food lately. I mix it thin and he gets syringe assist fed a few mL a day. The stuff stinks to high heavens but it seems to do the trick.

I have a 7 months bearded dragon that s too young for brumation and she started brunate anyway.. so i use this to feed her every morning and then she gies back to sleep. She s not big enough to brunate, so using this helps her gain weight during brumation.

Nuestro hurón salio de una operación reciente y no tomaba su comida así que tuvimos que alimentarle un tiempo con el Carnivore Care para que ganara algo de peso y se recuperara, tanto como complemento es algún momento puntual de bajón del animal o como alimento habitual en alguna recuperación etc es una maravilla, el producto no es barato pero lo vale. Hay que mezclarlo para que se quede como con la textura de un puré.

Very quick to deliver , great product.
