Sherwood Pet Health Rabbit Emergency kit and Bulk Recovery Food (Small kit)

I am extremely happy, they sent me this so fast. I was so desperate and it got here the next day!-To be safe I would pay asap delivery (I didn’t because I had other feedings)This product made my job so much easier because he liked it. My rabbit was going through GI stasis, I ran out of the critical food my vet prescribed. I was then force feeding this owbow and he hated me lol. It was quite the fight every feeding.My rabbit did not have much of an appetite but once I gave him a taste of the appetite stimulate he was looking for more. I had to syringe feed him the food packets and I went with my veterinarian instructions. He would eat on his own small amounts and I would increase feeding times I was in between jobs so I fed him every 2-3hours around the clock. It wasn’t hard because he was willing only by syringe. Waking up throughout the night was hard, but I did it. It’s not bad because he was more hungry at nights (that was motivation for me) and it would take less than 10-15 minutes total .When I worked (3)12 I fed him 6am, came home for lunch (I didn’t eat) 12pm, 7:50p, 11pm, 1am , 4am (I know it was crazy)When I worked my new job (5) 8hour I fed him: 6am,3:00 usually, 6p, 9p,12am,3amI didn’t feed him the whole packet I fed based on my veterinarian amount and what my rabbit would allow.Point is do what you can. If financially possible you can hire someone to make visit(s) to feed your rabbit while at work. It’s not expensive. I didn’t know these people existed.He’s so much better, completely eating on his own. Don’t give up.My rabbit is a mini Rex - anyone who has the same breed should absolutely have this on hand, they are at extreme high risk. This is my 4th time dealing with GI stasis and sometimes it just happens. I had rabbits for 30years and this is the first rabbit I ever had to experience Gi stasis with.First picture with him laying down flat, you can tell he’s not feeling well, in pain, this is the day I went to the veterinary ER. He lost weight. 2nd picture he is feeling so much better, following me around the house. I can tell he’s thankful.

My rabbit absolutely hates Oxbow Cirtical care, I had to force feed it to her at one point. She never had an interest in even sniffing it. She's able to take any medication with ease, but the Oxbow Critical Care is the only thing I would have to wrestle her to take it. Meanwhile, I took a few packets of Sherwood Critical Care out of the bag and she was going nuts for this! This is quite promising, I am assuming she will be able to take this when she is in a dire situation. She is very prone to G.I. stasis as she's diagnosed with megacolon, but so far she doesn't need critical care yet. It is quite expensive, but if it means my rabbit will be able to eat it willingly then it's worth the money.

I really like the way the emergency food is portioned into separate small bags. In other critical care, it's all in one bag that has to be used up or discarded and if you dont need the whole bag it is wasted. The small pouches make it easy to only use what you need. The appetite restore didn't seem to really make a difference for my rabbit but it did help us get some more fluid in him and he was more readily taking it because it is essentially banana sugar water. We did not use the included syringe for our rabbit as it was a little too short and food didn't get far enough in to where he had to swallow. Might be better for smaller pets. I definitely think having this in your emergency kit is important and it really helped my rabbit get through GI stasis.

One of my rabbits kept having stasis episodes at least once a year so I decided to buy this pack to have in my emergency first aid kit. My rabbit started showing very early signs of stasis and all the meds administered from her last ER vet had expired, so I didn’t want to chance it and gave her baby gas drops and this Sherwood emergency kit. I used one pack of the appetite restore mix and syringe fed my rabbit and the package said in 1-3 hours your rabbit should start eating, and sure enough at the 2 hour mark, my rabbit was pooping, eating, and drinking water! This kit is a huge lifesaver if you’re in a pinch, but always keep a close eye on your rabbit just in case you need to go to the emergency vet.

This saved my daughter's bunny's life. Her bunny got very sick from some contaminated carrots that were recalled and said to have had ecoli. We had no idea why her bunny kept getting worse and worse until we saw the recall notice. I quickly bought this and it was in the nick of time. Her bunny was weak, skinny and lethargic. Within two weeks of giving her this treatment, she was back to gaining weight and doing binkies. She's now a happy, healthy bunny!

If you have a rabbit you should definitely keep this on hand. Have used this and critical care and definitely prefer this brand. Love the individual packets so stays fresher longer. Works great.

Works as good as Oxbow Critical Care and a little cheaper

Bunny took to the formula fine however, you need a large syringe. I had to grab a dog size syringe in a pinch at the store to make this work. Recommended syringes would be nice in advance.
