PET FIRST AID KIT:
You should always have a pet first-aid kit handy in case your pet is injured. Here are some veterinarian’s recommendations on what to include:
- Your vet’s telephone number, plus the number of an emergency weekend or night-time vet
- Gauze rolls or pads
- Absorbent cotton
- Scissors, preferably with rounded tips
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Hydrocortisone ointment
- Eyewash
- Tweezers
- Rectal thermometer
- Syringe (without the needle) for giving oral medications
- Anti-diarrhea medicine (for dogs and cats)
- Upset stomach medicine (for dogs only)
- Antihistamine liquid
- A clean, white sock – to slip over an injured paw, to keep the wound and your floors clean until the bleeding is stopped.
