What do you need in times of emergency? Since I had the scare of my life tonight, I realized that there are things in my house that I don't have that I do need in times of emergency. Like Baby Asprin. Lets start a list hopefully I can realize other things I need, and this can help other ppl out to! |
Why baby aspirin? |
Have you read my thread? How Much Tylenol? ASAP?? And it doesnt necessarily have to be baby asprin it can be regular. |
Great thread!! Phone number and address of the closest after-hours or emergency vet. Links to info sites bookmarked...like this one...http://kitchen.robbiehaf.com/PetHomeRemedies.html Hydrogen Peroxide (to induce vomiting if so instructed by a vet or poison-control for pets) |
NurtraCal is one thing that is good to have on hand. Praying for you and your baby. |

I am making a list of things to go and get!!! |
Children's Benadryl is also good to have on hand in case of an allergic reaction or bite or sting. |
Ok. I read the other forum about Tylenol. I hope your baby gets better soon. I'm writing this stuff down, but can someone tell me what the aspirin is used for? Just in case I have to ever use it for Riley. :( |
For pain. It's better to have your vet prescribe something, but in an emergency, some vets will tell you to use baby aspirin. |
I am a firm believer in having a basic first aid kit on hand for our furbabies: 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 Here is a link to the Red Cross on first aid for pets. It's good to either bookmark or print a copy to keep in your first aid kit. http://www.redcross.org/services/dis.../firstaid.html |
I just posted an entire list with dosages http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98926 |
Pepto Bismal and pedialyte. Pepto for when they have an upset stomach and keep vomiting and pedialyte for the same reason to keep dehydrated. |

I just want to make this clear...I know you meant "keep HYDRATED", not "dehydrated".... and fwiw.....you can buy Pedialyte at almost any grocery store and a lot of them have their own store brand of electrolyte solution that's less expensive. Make sure you note the expiration date on any type that you buy though! |

I also have a first aid kit in my truck and car you never know when you might need one, it has every thing that I might need for people and pets. |
