Nutri-Cal is something similar if not the same as Critical Care.

Hi Samandshawn,

NutriCal will stimulate their appetite, it'll boost their immunesystem, if they go off their feed, provides them with the nutrientsneeded for a bit, and has a bit of laxatone in it. It can bepurchased at a pet supply store, is geared towards giving to cats anddogs, and costs about $12-20 per tube. The tube will last awhile. It comes out like toothpaste and usually an inch isplenty for one treatment.

Baytril, as you know is an antibiotic and needs to be prescribed by a doctor. It's rather expensive.

You can give NutriCal and Baytril together. As far as I'maware, they won't conflict each other. Can't do that with allmeds. Some medicines when mixed with NutriCal can causediarrehea, so you do have to be careful before you assume it's okay.
