First Aid Kit
PLEASE NOTE: This is a list of items your vet MAY tell you to use in
event of emergency. Always contact your veterinarian before giving your
animals any medication. All medication can be dangerous, and you can
KILL your pet by giving an overdose, the right medicine at the wrong
time or the wrong medicine. ALWAYS contact your veterinarian.
You can make a first aid kit from a bright colored tackle or tool box,
with the veterinarian's phone number, emergency vet phone number and
poison control phone number on the outside. Contained within are:
| tweezers | medicine syringe | bulb syringe |
| surgical scissors | dental floss | gauze bandage |
| adhesive tape | vet wrap | Q-tip |
| cotton balls | sanitary pads (as compresses) | rectal thermometer |
| rubber gloves | slip lead | muzzle |
| emergency blankets | can of soft dog food | styptic powder |
| buffered aspirin | burn gel | Panalog ointment |
| Variton cream | Cetaphil skin cleanser | Chlorhexi Derm flush |
| Otomax | activated charcoal | Milk of Magnesia |
| ear drying solution | eye wash | bag balm |
| KY jelly | Pepto Bismol | Benadryl |
| Alcohol | Peroxide | Iodine |
| dishwashing liquid |
You can make an emergency gurney using two 6/8" dowels [3-4 ft dowels work fine] and heavy canvas rectangle rolled around each dowel, secured by hefty tack nails to the dowels - then rolled again and tacked again. It stores nicely in the trunk or the back floorboard.
