EmerAid Intensive Care Herbivore V Oxbow Critical Care

I didn't know whether to post this in health or diet, apologies if I've chosen the wrong section.

I have two bunnies with terrible teeth roots, one of whom I'm having to syringe feed quite a lot. He's still managing to eat some, hence me continuing to keep him going. I have always used Oxbow critical care, but have heard about Emeraid and a bunny friend suggested I try it. Is it better than Oxbow? I believe less of the Emeraid is needed, which would be a great help, as bunnies tend to get very stressed being syringe fed. I believe the IC version will be what I need, but is it worth getting or is it essentially the same as the Oxbow? I have tried to work this out myself, but am very tired and struggling to get my brain into gear. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

I'm really interested in this & hope you get some answers - I reckon asking your vet would be the best solution, if you do - please report back. My vets use oxbow cc which makes me assume that would be the preferred option

I just googled ingredients for each but my brain quickly exploded. The only thing that stood out for me was CC has grass as its first ingredient & I like that

Thank you all. With Amazon Prime I can get the IC one tomorrow, but will order the Sustain too. I have heard of this for a while. It sounds like you need to use less and it's more palatable too. I understand the IC one is for short term use and I'd then need to move over to the Sustain or mix the IC with Oxbow CC. I think that's right. Thank you so much. I'll let you know how I get on.
