EmerAID intensive care herbivores

EmerAid Intensive Care Herbivore is a semi-elemental, high-fibre diet developed for critically ill herbivores — such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, iguanas and tortoises.

It was created by a panel of specialists including exotic animal vets, emergency clinicians and nutritionists, and can be combined with EmerAid Intensive Care Omnivore and Carnivore, depending on the species.

Key features

• The main fibre source is cellulose, a gentle fibre for the sensitive gastrointestinal tract of the debilitated herbivore.
• Highly digestible nutrition, for fast energy and easy digestion.
• High energy density: smaller volume per feed.
• All essential amino acids, with high levels of arginine and glutamine.
• Balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and dietary nucleotides.
• Once prepared, passes through 5 Fr feeding tubes without clogging.
