i am makeing a first aid bag for my dogs to take with them on a hunt any help or tip would be very greatful

 

[oceangypsy]

Bandaging materials, tweezers, hydrogen peroxide, small scissors, styptic powder. Can't really think of anything else at the moment.

thanks for the help

Determine the location of the nearest vet to where you'll be, just in case.

 

[oceangypsy]

That is some good advice Orrymain. Or if your vet is good with letting you call them after hours/weekends, then keep their number handy.

 

[Snoopy]

These are included in my first aid kit for my pet.

1. hydrocortisone ointment
2. balanced electrolyte fluid
3. several rolls of elastic wrap
4. thermometer
5. rolled cotton and cotton balls

 

[oceangypsy]

Good items to add Snoopy. Esp. the electrolyte fluids, that can be very useful on hot days.

 

[Missy]

Do add these-- mineral oil (used as a laxative), Pepto Bismol, antibiotic ointment (I use Bacitracin), 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, oral syringes, ointment for ear infections, eye infection, and skin infections.

[oceangypsy]

Wow, that is pretty scary. I am glad to read that every one is ok. Perhaps adding some benadryl (the regular benadryl, just plain) to that list would be helpful. Double check with the vet on dosage amounts though. And be sure no other meds are being given at the same time.

 

[Davey]

These ones are equally important too--pepto bismol, q-tips, first aid tape, epsom salts, antiseptic whites, needle, thread, and safety pins of various sizes

 

[ms.daisy]

IMPORTANT: Phone numbers of your veterinarian, emergency veterinary clinic with directions, poison control center

 

[Orrymain]

Pepto bismal? For dogs? I don't even like it for me. lol When would you give that to a dog?

 

[oceangypsy]

yes, I am curious on the pepto bismol also. Lots of great ideas here. I am thinking of adding some of these things to my home first aid kit I have for my pets.

Glad to read they are OK. I love all the ideas. I would also throw in a few old towels, water bottle, plastic bags for the garbage, small first aid book for reference.
