Critical Care
A syringe-feed recovery formula for a small herbivore that has stopped eating. In a rabbit, a stopped gut is a genuine emergency, and this keeps them going.

Our take
This is the one thing every rabbit and guinea pig owner should have in the cupboard before they need it. When a rabbit stops eating, its gut can shut down within hours, GI stasis, which is life-threatening, and you have to keep food moving through while you get to a vet. Critical Care is a hay-based powder you mix with water and syringe-feed to do exactly that. It is emergency and recovery nutrition, not a daily food, and it does not replace the emergency vet visit a non-eating rabbit needs, but it buys crucial time. Keep a bag in.
