Ok guys..Pansy, Petunia and Peatmoss (Peaty) will be coming home in just under 4 weeks. I need to know from the experts here, what I should have on hand in my med kit for these guys.They are fainters...2 girly, girls and one wether.
And any other tips...we will be hitting TS and the local farm store this coming weekend to finish picking up the necessities.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Of course a good loose mineral to be available at all times.

Just a few things for emergencies that I am never without:

Banamine(pain med for animals in case of injuries/pnumonia)
Nuflor(antibiotic for pnuemonia)
Lactated Ringers(subQ fluids for dehydrated/sick animals)
Disposable IV kit(to administer the subQ Lactated Ringers)
Bo-Se(selenium/vitamin E)

All the above need to be bought from a vet.

Mineral oil(for bloat)
Activated charcoal(for any type of poisoning)
Cayenne Pepper(for bleeding)
Injectable Vitamin B Complex(for anytime an animal is sick)

Can you get Ringer's from Wedocows w/o a script? I'll have to have a chat with the vet when I bring the dog in for his heartworm check on Friday.

Nope, you have to have a prescription. Then you can buy it from wedocows.

The main items I see on the forum here that people need fast and don't have on hand is Banamine, Ammonium Chloride and activated charcoal.
