This diet is designed to help them recover from serious illnesses, manage chronic conditions, or address being underweight. It also assists in transitioning them from intensive care nutrition to regular feeding.

This carefully designed diet was developed with the input of experts, including exotic animal veterinarians, emergency clinicians, and nutritionists. It is high in fiber, making it easy to absorb and digest while providing the necessary nutrients for recovery.

• Contains eight sources of dietary fibre. This balanced blend of insoluble and soluble fibre types promotes optimal hindgut health and normal gastrointestinal motility.
• Sources of the insoluble or structural fibres lignin and cellulose include timothy hay, soybean hulls, and peppermint leaves, which all help to maintain the health of the cecum and large intestine.
• Fermentable or soluble fibre hemicellulose, pectins, oligosaccharides) in the form of beet pulp, soybean meal, inulin, papaya, and xanthan, maintains a robust population of functional microflora in the large intestine and cecum.
• Contains all essential amino acids.
• A complete and balanced source of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and nucleotides.
• Hydrolyzed soy protein is an easily digestible protein, which helps the body quickly rebuild lean body mass.
• Oat grain and wheat flour are readily digestible complex starches that provide energy when commensal microbial function might be impaired.
• Peppermint leaves serve as a source of structural fibre as well as a tasty enticement for self feeding.

Importantly, EmerAid Sustain Herbivore goes beyond the typical nutritional standards for these animals and can be used for an extended period when recommended by a vet. Be cautious about weight management since it contains about 20% more energy than standard diets.
