Water Bottle Lixit

Critical Care Powder-- sample bag size
Oxbow Critical Care is an important tool for helping sick chins. It is a combination of fiber and nutrients.
Mix with filtered warm water to make a paste of varying consistency depending on need; it will also supplement a chin's water intake.
HOW TO FEED it:
There has always been a problem with feeding it--- often a sick chin needs to be wrapped up like a 'burrito' in order to be fed with an oral syringe.
This can cause stress at a time when it is not needed.
Most of our chins will eat Critical Care readily, even greedily, from a bowl but it can take time to get them used to it.
A chin may need to be tempted, pretending the CC is a treat.
You can try sprinkling a very small amount (a few grains) on your chin's pellets so it grows used to the taste.
After talking with our vets and with the consent of Oxbow, we are offering small amounts of Critical Care to chin owners for this purpose.
Each sample bag contains about 6 teaspoons (tsp) equal to 15 grams of Critical Care product.
Each teaspoon powder when mixed with warm water makes about 7cc-12 cc.
A normal feeding for a 550-700g chin will fall into this range.
However, each sample bag will provide many small amounts to tempt a chin.
Sent by US first class mail, the Critical Care sample bag is $3 each.
Please note: Critical Care normally should be used in conjunction with proper vet care.
If it is needed, there is a reason and Critical Care treats symptoms, not causes.
