Medicine Cabinet Recommendations

I have the following in my med cabinet and know I need more (like my own CD & T vaccines and antitoxin too), but what else do I need and what place is the cheaptest to get them. I have the following:

1. Combi-Pen 48
2. Bo-Se
3. Banamine
4. Amino Plus with Corid
5. 100 6cc syringes plus 100 18G needles and 100 20G needles
6. Wormers (Ivomectin and Valbazen)

Any other suggestions to save me a visit to the vet and save some money would be great!!

Fortified B Complex is good to have on hand at all times, and ProBios paste too. Either the horse or cattle version of ProBios will work.

I get as much as I can locally to save on the cost of shipping. What you can't find locally, I find is usually cheapest at www.jefferslivestock.com

Depending on your location and the time of year that you order, you don't always have to pay for overnight shipping. Jeffers has a chart on their website to check and see how many "days" away you are. I live close enough that I get shipments within 1 or 2 days anyway, so I order refrigerated vaccines usually in February and then the ice pack that they send with it is more than enough to keep things cool until I get it. For most items, they don't even have a shipping charge if your order is $60 or more, so I get my meds pretty cheap that way.

If you have any male goats then have Ammonium Chloride on hand (Hoeggers carries it) Also, Activated charcoal...enough to do your entire herd in case they eat something poisionous.
