How To Make First Aid Kit For Your Pet
1 Comment
Keeping a pet first aid kid at home is a great idea since you never know when an accident will occur. You could place a first aid kit with yourself and separately buy the items, or you can buy a ready-made one. Once you make one yourself, utilize a mini plastic tub that has a tight fitting to place the following items:
1. Important contact numbers.
- Emergency clinic direction and phone number.
- Veterinary clinic’s direction and phone number.
- Phone numbers of poison control center
2.Supplies and equipment
- Clean towels - paper and cloth
- Cotton balls
- Cotton swabs
- Oral syringe or Eye dropper
- Feeding tubes of various sizes (once you are taught in how to use them)
- Magnifying glass
- Muzzle
- Metal nail file and nail clippers
- Penlight
- Rectal thermometer
- Scissors
- Styptic sticks or powders or cornstarch.
- Tweezers
3. Bandaging Materials
- Bandage rolls – Vetwrap and gauze
- Band-Aids (for humans)
- First aid tape – both adhesive types and paper (easily comes off of skin)
- Non-stick pads
- Some sterile square gauze of various sizes.
4. Nutritional Support
- Rehydrating solution like Pedialyte or Gatorade
- Nutritional supplement like VitaCal, Nutri-Cal, or Nutristat
- High sugar source: Karo syrup
5. Medicines
- To absorb ingested poisons, keep an Activated charcoal (consult your veterinarian before you use it)
- Antibiotic ophthalmic ointment for eyes. For example, Terramycin
- Antidiarrheal medicine like Pet Pectate (ensure that it doesn’t contain salicylates)
- Cat laxative in paste form
- Cortisone cream or spray.
- For allergic reactions, Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is a must have (obtain dose from your veterinarian)
- Ear cleaning solution
- Eye wash solution
- To make a cat vomit, use Hydrogen peroxide (only utilize directed by a veterinarian)
- Sterile saline
- A Triple antibiotic ointment for skin
- Wound disinfectant such as Nolvasan or Betadine.
