We have some liquivite in but it doesn't seem a particularly scientific formulation - it seems to have very generic feeding instructions eg cat feed this, small dog feed this, increase as appetite returns etc. But it may have to do for the time being.

I've used convalescence support before so may give that another go.

Liquivite for Cats for both cats and dogs. If we want to be absolutely certain it will go through a syringe without needing skill to prevent blockages, Convalescence Support. Use an electric blender to mix the latter; it takes ages by hand.

[quote user="Andrew Kent"]can anybody recommend a currently available liquid feed for tube feeding dogs/cats[/quote]

We use RCW Convalescence sachets; though for wide bore tubes RCW Recovery blended with a little water is good; Liquivite is another alternative. Haven't tried Oxbow Carnivore Care but is another option.

Hi Andy,we use Royal Canin Convalescence Support Instant. Comes in sachets of powder, you make it up with water. I've used it in NO tubes and it goes down fine
