Emergency puppy kit ingredients?

[Izzys dad]

Hi All. I was just reading a post and it had listed things to keep in an emergency puppy kit, and I was wondering what these things are for. Can anybody list the uses for these things? THANKS!!
(should have a syringe dropper for measuring, karo, nutrical, triple antibiotic ointment, I keep Apple Cider Vinegar in mine too it's my must have, safety scissor nippers)

LOL that's me who listed them: so I'll throw my reasoning in but was just thinking about starting a thread asking what everyone else keeps in their dog emergency first aid kits...I'm curious to know what anyone else does or has to improve my own too:

Karo-for instant blood sugar elevation
Nutri-cal same as your Nutri-gen
Syringe-for measuring medicine, a needless one
syringe large- for irrigation, spraying out ears, wounds etc
triple anti-biotic ointment- for woulds and rashes I use neosporin
Apple cider vinegar-its my wonder drug for dogs etc used for a rub if we go into a parasite place, to calm reflux, antibiotic and well here's a good site Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar - The Top 6
safety scissors with ball ends-for cutting bandages and in case your dog get tangles and you won't poke them with those kind

No kit here, but

I'd say:
Nutrical
Benadryl
Canned pumpkin
E-collar
Muzzle
Tick Twister or the like
Neosporin
3% hydrogen peroxide
Q-tips/cotton balls
Phone numbers and dosing instructions
Syringes for dosing

diarrhea

I would also suggest vet wrap.

For dog emergency kits- I would suggest adding Rescue Remedy as hurt/stressed dogs are more likely to bite.

I didn't know dogs could take benadryl!

Adding my soft muzzle, canned pumpkin, benadryl, and rescue remedy...I almost always have mellow mut by dogswell on hand but a liquid for such would work so much better in a emergency kit! hmmmmmmm redoing my kits.

I know what I'm making for everyone and giving away at Christmas next year to family member's dog! Keep it coming I'm okay with having a large kit...better to be over prepared than not prepared at all...might need a bigger bag though...

Here's what I have now:One a freind got me from the store a mini travel dog first aid kit and
I made myself at home; mine I made has a triple antibiotic ointment, rubbing alcohol wipes (for rubbing on foot pads in heat exposure only) hydrogen peroxide, round tip scissors, a measuring syringe for medicine,a large syringe for irrigation, karo, nutrical, eye wash, ear cleaners, the long tweezer things, sterile pads and self adhesive bandage tape/wrap, a splint, apple cider vinegar, pepto, the tablets you break open to induce vomiting, and of course extra meds for my dogs.

In addition to the items listed above, I also have a little flow sheet that I update periodically with the dog's latest weight (for dosing), latest vaccine info, as well as the phone #'s and address to the ER Vet. I also programmed my car's GPS with the address so I can find it in a hurry.

those are really good ideas! i have some of the basics, but they are just willy-nilly in the bathroom, it would be smart to put them all in one safe place. it might also be a good idea to keep the animal poison control numbers & microchip info along with a recent up-close pic just in case. there are 2 diff poison control numbers i've seen, one is paid at the time of call, the other one gets billed, i'll try to find the numbers. i also read that the human poison control will offer advice for dogs...anyone know if that is true and/or would be accurate?

[mscat]

I would also add something to stop bleeding. Such as if your dog's nail was cut to short > i like Ellie May's list , very good and specific.

Were you putting together an emergency kit? If so, please refer to this one:

think about maintenance on the kit too. As time passes, things expire. Check peroxide especially, as when you need it to work it's generally an emergency. Go through your kits at least twice a year, toss expired stuff and restock stuff you've used.

There is a sticky in one of the forums that has information that one should keep on hand.

I used to teach child development for Day Care workers at a local community college. The ligature I had said they offer advice for dogs. I have not used it yet.
