The Story
A COMPLETE NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FORMULA FOR SICK OR INJURED BIRDS
- For birds needing an easily assimilated source of nutrients.
- For medical and surgical patients that are recovering from pansystemic failure.
- For nutritional support of a bird during the transition phase of a diet change.
- For birds in which anorexia has slowed gastrointestinal emptying time.
- Also used as a handfeeding diet for growth from hatching to fledging of small insectivorous birds with an apparent inability to digest cornstarch. Species include bushtits, wrentits, vireos, wrens & smaller flycatchers and warblers.
Feeding Guide
Caution: The correct feeding technique must be used in order to prevent injury to the bird or inhalation of the formula that could result in pneumonia or death.
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1: Gently feel the crop to determine that it is almost empty before feeding.
Step 2: Mix fresh: 1 part dry formula to 1-3 parts bottled ādrinking waterā heated to approximately 103Ā°F (39Ā°C). Do not microwave. Allow to cool to lukewarm.
Step 3: Feeding with aĀ tubeĀ is probably the most universally successful technique. As one faces the bird, position the tube to enter the oral cavity from the left side of the birdās beak and direct it toward the right side of the birdās neck. Deposit the food into the birdās crop.
Step 4: Feed the bird until the crop is full but not overstuffed and clean the excess formula from the birdās beak, feathers and enclosure. Repeat as often as needed to maintain or increase the birdās body weight.
OTHER ANIMALS
Recovery Formula can be fed to any animals which require an easily assimilated source of nutrients, whether post-surgery or as part of a general rehabilitation process.
Step 1: Mix fresh: 1 part dry formula to 2-3 parts warmed (around 39Ā°C/103Ā°F) drinking water, or to a desired consistency. Do not microwave. Allow to cool to lukewarm.
Step 2:Ā TubeĀ feed or spoon feed warmed formula based on veterinary recommendations.
Step 3: Repeat feeding as necessary to maintain or increase the animal's body weight. Recovery is a low-fibre diet and is easy to digest, therefore frequent feeding may be necessary.
