Seabirds have been gavage-fed EmerAid Carnivore or EmerAid Piscivore for years with greater success than any other tube-feeding formula. Seabirds have responded so favorably to this diet, that it is currently part of the intensive care nutrition protocol at the Oiled Wildlife Care Network in California. EmerAid was also used successfully during the Gulf Oil Spill. 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 Raptors such as eagles, hawks, and owls are frequently presented to all wildlife centers and are commonly emaciated. EmerAid has been tested on these birds for many years with great success.Puppies have relatively high energy requirements compared to adult dogs. Begin with 25% to 30% of daily 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. Daily energy requirements can be calculated using the following equation [70 x BW(kg) 0.75] x 3. EmerAid ® Intensive Care HDN™ Canine meets or exceeds requirements for all life stages with the one exception of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) levels. When EmerAid HDN is fed to growing animals longer than 1 week, it is recommended the diet be supplemented daily with 1% fish oil (DMB). The NRC recommends a level of 0.13 g/1,000 kcal ME of a combination of DHA and EPA for both puppies. 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.
