Harrison's Recovery Formula - Premium Hand Feeding Formula for Sick or Injured Animals
Complete nutritional support for sick or injured animals.
- For animals needing an easily assimilated source of nutrients.
- For medical and surgical patients that are recovering from pansystemic failure.
- For nutritional support during the transition phase of a diet change.
- For animals in which anorexia has slowed gastrointestinal emptying time.
- Also used as a hand feeding diet for growth from hatching to fledging of small insectivorous birds with an apparent inability to digest cornstarch. In North America, such species include bushtits, wrentits, vireos, wrens & smaller flycatchers, and warblers. New Zealand species may be different.
For tube-feeding of emaciated and/or dehydrated animals with a moderate to excessive loss of body weight. The consistency of the freshly prepared formula (warmed to animal’s body temperature) depends on the degree of dehydration and the general condition of the animal. The formula mixture should be more fluid to nearly watery in significantly dehydrated animals and for the first feedings. At this consistency the formula easily passes through the GI tract and as the hydration of the skin normalises the mixture should be gradually increased to yogurt consistency.
