Hey everyone- Please help me settle an argument with my partner.
Very long story short: Our Vet (who is currently at a conference) sent us home with a few day supply of rx formula he uses for feeding tube. I was SPECIFICALLY told by him to purchase (picture attached) Critical Care FINE GRIND for her, and showed him the photo of the one I bought. He said it was correct- the BROWN bag.
We have a bag of the other (green bag). Tonight was 1st night using BROWN BAG FINE GRIND, and he is telling me we need to use GREEN bag because it's a closer consistency to rx one. I keep telling him I was told to get BROWN BAG FINE GRIND by her Vet.
I msg my Vet of course, but please- anyone with experience, reassure me that I am correct, and it IS the BROWN BAG that we should be using for her small feeding tube.
Photo shows both bags, and I keep telling him the brown is the one we need to use per Vet.
He is terrified of hurting her and thinks it's wrong and we should use GREEN BAG.
So, until Vet gets back with me, can anyone with experience with small feeding tube for a Russian Tortoise weigh in here.
Tagging you as well @Tom
Thanks so much! Kara
