VirbacRebound Recuperation Formula for Cats, Clear

This stuff absolutely saved my cat. She refused to eat for nearly 5 days straight, assuming she ate some pesticide outside. She was isolating herself, not using the bathroom, slept all day. I took her to the vet but they couldn't find anything wrong with her. after about 24 hours of feeding her this stuff as a last resort effort, she was back to eating bit by bit, then day by day became herself again! Using the bathroom, meowing at us, eating regularly, she's an old lady so I thought it might've been her time to go, but she perked back up because of this stuff. Don't even question it if ur cat isn't eat, use it asap!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This stuff was really great! I didn't like the fact that you have to discard it after 7 days.. I figured I'd waste most of it. I had two sick kittens to take care of. I gave it to them once in the am before I went to work, and then once again in the evening before bed. They finished the bottle perfectly. They enjoyed it too.. sick kittens can be hard to feed but they actually ran to me and were frantic to get fed! Good stuff right there. Would totally buy again even tho it's pretty expensive for a weeks worth of formula. Kittens are still sick but we've moved on to different things I've found on here because they've at least got their appetite back.

This product saved my cat's life! He got out and ate an unknown plant. He would not stop vomiting; refusing to eat or drink. This product mixed with a little water and a small syringe he regained his strength. Got the plant out of his system while still receiving nutrients. I highly recommend this for anyone at their wits end.

I forgot I had purchased this. I bought it because my elderly kitty was going downhill fast. She wasn't eating enough, and I wanted to add something to her food that would possibly provide her more nutrition. It really helped her in terms of feeling more comfortable and satisfied, which made me feel better.I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Short shelf life, though. There are a few products I like for this purpose, and this is one that is good. Not a lot of info here, so I looked up what I could find and added it here.

Life saver product. First your cat must like the taste and our cat LOVED the taste. She's 10-years old with terminal cancer and has now passed. The product helped us by allowing her medicine to be mixed with the Rebound and eaten. This made it much easier than forcing meds in her mouth. When she didn't want to eat solid food we mixed the food with some Rebound and she would eat all of her food!

I just wanted to say this did my help my cat who died from a mystery illness. Nothing against the product but I dont want anyone else to get their hopes up like I did.

I can’t recommend this recuperation broth enough! Rebound is being given to my recently sick 7-year-old white-and-tabby. He has had a bout of illness, not eating, diarrhea, and being poorly for a week. The emergency vet found nothing suspicious and said it was a stomach bug. Still we were faced with a cat who would not eat for more than a day, which is bad for cats (different than people). She gave him anti-nausea pills and an appetite stimulant, which helped for a day, but then he wouldn’t eat again. So we ordered this product to try to tempt him to eat again.The ingredients are numerous. There are vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega oils, and essential amino acids. It’s based on chicken broth, which is my cat’s favorite homemade treat. It smells good and is a bit viscous in texture, having some body when you pour it. You have to use it up in one week and keep it refrigerated. I wonder if you could safely freeze any extra.I poured a half dose into the handy little measuring cup provided. Then poured a little blob into a 2-inch sushi dish. He just woke up right away, sniffed the air, and lapped it up. We were amazed! Gave a tad more a while later. From there we were able to progress to human baby food (chicken), and finally he was eating again normally. Over the week, we continued to give him a daily dose until the bottle was used up. It’s a relief to see him looking bright-eyed and bushy tailed again. I think I’d try Rebound to tempt any cat that looks bedraggled.It’s a good value. Made in Belgium.
