Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Emergencies After reading so many incidents and accident were our babies need medical attention, usually after hours, during holidays or weekends, I think it is a great idea to have a few things to use in an emergency, Neosporin, gauze, peroxide, to use right away.Also have that emergency number handy, just like you would with a family member.Have a plan, maybe a map, of where the emergency office is, since not always is at the same vet's office, in the case that you can't drive or don't have a car, plan who could take you. I personally have our vet's and 24 hrs. emergency number on my wallet, another copy on Max's file, and if for any reason he stays at my parents, they also have that map and number just in case. A wasted second can make the difference between life and death.

Especially when a dog is feeling nauseous and has lost its appetite, my goals are always these: - have something that is quick to prepare - give food that is quickly absorbed by tummy and can provide energy - give food that is usually appetizing and high in carb - give food that will help absorb nauseous tummy juices Giving just canned (or fresh) potatoes with a bit of butter is usually appetizing, provides quick energy, is very easy on the tummy. So, it can help bring back appetite - and act quickly since it's a simple carb. You can also use potatoes to hide/give Pepto or other meds too.
