Nutrigel

[kathrynj]

Is similar if not the same as the nutripet/nutrical/nutrigel you get over there, ours is made by troy laboritories, and the ingredients are top secret, however they did confirm over the phone that fish oils are an important ingredient.

The nutritional info is here

Troy Laboratories Pty. Ltd. - Nutripet

Can I get an opinion? I hate the stuff, but people over here are STILL using it! Even though critical care is now readily available.

I'm very confused. What is this stuff suppose to do? And where do you mean by "over here"?

I don't think that I've ever seen a guinea pig fish, have you? I've also never seen a guinea pig milk a cow, but yogurt seems to be a diet staple to some. I think that you have guessed that I don't agree with its use for our piggers.

Pumpkin, I'm guessing that "over here" is Australia.

oh, ok thanks. Yes, I don't think this stuff is good for them.

I personally would stick with critical care. If nutrigel has the same ingredients as nutrical then it does indeed contain cod liver oil which is an animal product. It also has corn syrup as the main ingredient.

The ingredients for nutrical are:
Corn Syrup, Soybean Oil, Malt Syrup, Cod Liver Oil, Cane Molasses, Methylcellulose, Water, Peptones, dl-Alpha tocopheryl Acetate (Vit. E), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Manganese Sulphate, Iron Peptonate, Thiamine HCl, Nicotinamide, Calcium Pantothenate (source of Calcium and Pantothenic Acid), Magnesium Sulphate, Pyridoxine HCl, Vitamin A Palmitate, Potassium Iodide (Source of Iodine and Potassium), Riboflavin 5' Phosphate Sodium (Source of Vit. B2 and Phosphorus), Vitamin A Palmitate & D3 Concentrate, Folic Acid and Cyanocobalamin (Vit. B12).

I'm very confused. What is this stuff suppose to do? And where do you mean by "over here"?

This stuff is supposed to be a supplement for animals who aren't eating properly or for animals who have lost a lot of weight due to illness. "Over here" is Australia.
