Product Information

Our feline nutrition for critical care is developed by critical care veterinarians and nutritionists. Cats have specific nutritional requirements, and the precise needs of the critical canine patient reflect these nutritional differences. Table 2. In puppies, EmerAid Intensive Care HDN feeding recommendations are based on predicted daily energy requirements (DER) BW EmerAid Intensive Care Omnivore is a part of theEmerAid System for Exotic Animal Critical Care, which is divided into three categories: Carnivore, Herbivore, and Omnivore. By using these products singly or in combination, many different ill exotic animals can benefit nutritionally.

The 400g bag comes with a red scoop that has both large (1 tablespoon) and small (1 teaspoon) ends. Store Emeraid Carnivore in a cool, dry place. After opening, refrigerate the powder and use it within 9 months to maintain freshness and quality. Ingredients EmerAid ® Intensive Care HDN™ Canine is a therapeutic product to be used only under the supervision of a veterinarian. Begin with 25% to 30% of resting energy requirements and gradually adjust the volume and number of feedings based on patient condition. A volume of 5-10 ml/kg/feeding is generally well tolerated via esophagostomy or gastric tube. Resting energy requirements can be calculated using the following equation [70 x BW(kg) 0.75]. Veterinary healthcare teams are presented with difficult emergencies every day, and EmerAid is designed to provide nutrition for critical care to a wide variety of species. EmerAid is nutritionally designed to give each debilitated animal the best possible chance of recovery:

Feeding Example

Emeraid® Sustain™ HDN Feline is a therapeutic diet scientifically designed to support canines that are recovering from critical illness, suffering from chronic medical conditions, or underweight. It is also designed to transition the debilitated cat from intensive care nutrition to normal feeding. As a recovery diet, it contains more whole nutrients than the Intensive Care HDN Canine. This therapeutic diet is easily absorbed and highly digestible. Learn more Developed by an expert panel including exotic animal veterinarians, emergency clinicians and nutritionists, this is the first semi-elemental diet designed for the critically ill omnivore. Also herbivorous reptiles such as green iguanas and tortoises. It can also be fed in combination with other Emeraid products to a variety of species, including box turtles, geese, mice and rats, gerbils and hamsters Key Benefits

The EmerAid System for Exotic Animal Critical Care or “Exotic EmerAid” is designed to provide life-saving nutrition to a wide variety of species during the first few days of care. EmerAid is designed to help when an animal is unable to eat on its own due to starvation, injury or illness, and the digestive system has begun to shut down. These therapeutic diets should be used only under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian or wildlife rehabilitator. WARNING: EmerAid has been scientifically designed for extremely high digestibility. Avoid contamination. Handle product carefully. Keep dry. Use clean, dry scoop. Do not cross contaminate with scoops used with non-EmerAid foods. Contamination can cause harmful bacterial growth. Feed your patient immediately whenever possible, and always within 30 minutes of food preparation. Keep the gavage tube and syringe in very warm water 103-105°F (39-41°C) until ready to feed. EmerAid also provides a high level of nutritional flexibility for the veterinary healthcare team. Each nutrient-dense, high-energy EmerAid formulation can be prepared at various levels of concentration, as determined by the needs of the patient.EmerAid® Intensive Care™ HDN Feline or “Highly Digestible Nutrition” is a semi-elemental therapeutic diet scientifically designed for critically ill or recovery feline patients. This therapeutic diet is easily absorbed and highly digestible. Learn more Unlike many enteral feeding products that are merely recovery diets, the EmerAid Intensive Care line replenishes the patient’s depleted energy, fat, and protein stores. EmerAid Intensive Care Herbivore, EmerAid Carnivore, and EmerAid Omnivore all contain: Hydrolyzed starch supplies glucose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, which avoids the osmotic problems associated with feeding only glucose. Vital for the acute carbohydrate needs associated with debilitation. Feed as the sole diet for 10 days or less unless directed otherwise by your veterinarian. For patients with poor weight gain or malabsorptive conditions, Emeraid can also be mixed with the regular diet to boost enterocyte function and enhance digestion (25%-30% Emeraid; 70%-75% regular diet).

Intensive care nutrition products are indicated for debilitated, cachectic patients; individuals with reduced digestive capacity, highly stressed patients needing the minimal numbers of feedings, and/or patients that require additional calories to maintain or gain weight. Marine mammals such as emaciated sea lion and elephant seal pups have been fed EmerAid Piscivore at marine mammal centers in California. WARNING:EmerAid has been scientifically designed for extremely high digestibility. Avoid contamination. Handle product carefully. Keep dry. Use a clean, dry scoop. Do not cross contaminate with scoops used with non-EmerAid foods. Contamination can cause harmful bacterial growth. Emeraid Intensive Care Omnivore is a prescription diet for omnivorous exotic animal species with critical health conditions, including companion birds, types of lizards, and certain small mammals.Also some lizards, as well as small mammals like sugar gliders & many rodents like squirrels, rats and mice. All ingredients are optimized for assisting stressed patients, including amino acids, easily digestible protein, omega-3 fatty acids, purified fiber, cellulose, antioxidants, stabilized vitamins, chelated minerals, balanced electrolytes, and more The 400 g (3.5 oz) pouch and 2 kg (4.4 lb) tub come with a red scoop that has both large (1 tablespoon) and small (1 teaspoon) ends. Use the smaller end of the scoop to prepare a relatively small volume of formula. To prepare larger volumes of EmerAid, fill the large end of the scoop with powder. Powder is easily mixed with water to create a formula that can pass through tubes as small as 5-French

d Daily energy requirements for puppies less than 4 months of age were calculated as 3 x RER where RER = 70 x BW(kg) 0.75 Rabbits, both domestic and wild, have been fed EmerAid Herbivore for many years. These animals are known to have a very delicate digestive system and are regular patients in veterinary clinics and wildlife centers. Generally, upon intake, an animal is first given some sort of fluid therapy, by the oral, intravenous, or subcutaneous route. The length of time prior to introducing EmerAid will vary with the particular animal and its level of dehydration. EmerAid is mixed with water and tube-fed or syringe-fed, depending upon the species.

EmerAid has been tested on these birds for many years with great success.
