Will the next debilitated patient presented to your practice be an Amazon parrot, a ferret, a dog, or a cat? Veterinary healthcare teams are presented with difficult emergencies everyday, and EmerAid is designed to provide nutrition for critical care to a wide variety of species.<\/p>\n

Saving The Critical Patient<\/strong><\/p>\n Emergency medicine often involves the care of patients that have \u201ccrashed\u201d: \u00a0animals that are weak, depressed, malnourished, or severely debilitated. Nutrition is a vital part of critical care medicine, and yet the process of digesting, absorbing, and assimilating nutrients often requires energy that the critical patient does not have to spare. EmerAid<\/strong> provides intensive care nutrition for these patients in the form of a semi-elemental diet. Nutrients are provided in a simplified form allowing the body to quickly digest and absorb the nutrients, thus sparing the patient\u2019s already over-taxed resources.<\/p>\n The nutritional status of your patient can affect long-term prognosis, and nutrition for critical care<\/a> should be started as soon as possible – especially if enteral feeding is safe and practical. EmerAid formulations are particularly well-suited for the critical patient because they are a semi-elemental diet. Elemental nutrition<\/a> means that the patient does not use its limited energy stores for assimilation of nutrients, however completely elemental diets are often associated with osmotic diarrhea. The semi-elemental nature of EmerAid means that the diet passes gently through the gastrointestinal tract and the patient utilizes the nutrients from the diet needed in debilitated states.<\/p>\nArticles<\/strong><\/h4>\n
