| Good for you for thinking about having a first aid kit on hand! This is what I recommend: Triple antibiotic ointment Hydrogen Peroxide Hydrocortisone cream Alcohol swabs Benadryl Pepto Bismal Kaopectate Baby Aspirin Self-adhering bandages Gauze pads Eye wash Small syringe (no needle) marked w/m’s or cc’s for medication administration Cold Pack Styptic powder to stop bleeding Cotton swabs/cotton balls Thermometer (normal rectal temperature is between 101.0 to 102.5 degrees) Copy of shot record (in plastic sheet) Pedialite to replace fluids Also, I'd download a copy of the Red Cross's first aid for pets and keep it in a plastic sleeve in your first aid kit: http://www.redcross.org/services/dis.../firstaid.html |

| Ladymom about covered it all. I would follow her advice, and try to calm down. You'll really enjoy your new little one. Just remember the first few days he may not be himself, as he has to get use to his new environment. This is perfectly normal. I'm sure you'll be a great Yorkie mom.

| If you have some white corn syrup on hand, that's just as good to have...I had bought the nurtical, but, never used it, so it was just wasted, and it's pretty costly..Most people have white corn syrup(karo syrup) on hand..good luck with your new baby.. |
