Critical Care is made by Oxbow Hay you should be able to order it right off the website. My veterinary hospital carries it, but I have ordered it off the website several times. Hill's a/d is WAY too high in protein and fat. It is a calorie dense diet for carnivores (made from beef and chicken liver base). I would not rec. using it in Uros. Critial Care is a calorie dense diet for herbivores (origially designed for critically ill rabbits, but, has been used in many herbivorous reptile species successfully), much more appropriate for uros. Hope this helps.



If you are in a pinch you can use rabbit pellet slurry or vegetable baby food slurry until you can get the Critical Care. I personally soak rabbit pellets in warm water add calcium powder and a little banana baby food (adds a little sweetness and smell to attract them) and blend in a blender until smooth enough to feed with a syringe.
