Re: What do you have in your medical bag?
For anyone interested in a really great first aid kit, I was lucky enough to win one of Lynne's kits and let me tell you it is outstanding! When one of these comes up for a raffle I would urge anyone with a dog or animal (I've used the eyewash on my mare) to try for one of these great kits. Everything in the kit is useful and even if you don't ever think you may need it, believe me you will. Great kit Lynne and thanks Susan Ablon Gweebarra BMD Balch Springs, Tx http://www.pageweb.com/gwebara On Wed, 22 Jan 2003 06:51:16 -0800 Steve Weber [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: These are the items in the first aid kit that I donate to the various raffles for Berners: Canine First Aid Kit Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook Basics: 1.

Re: What Do You Have in Your Medical Bag?/Aleve
A few folks have asked me about Aleve, not being sure it if is ok for dogs, as it is close in nature/family to ibuprophan, which is not ok for dogs. I think I mis-typed--Ascripton, the Maalox + NSAID, was what I actually have in my kit. Sorry! Eileen Morgan The Mare's Nest http://www.enter.net/~edlehman --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

- Original Message - From: Laura Lopez Mendez [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hola guys! Excellent list, Eileen! I would add quick stop powder and an antihistaminic...in case a bug bites! Oh, yeah, I'm allergic to bees so we have Benadryl (or the generic) stashed upstairs, downstairs, in the barn, in every vehicle . . . I forgot that one! Not injectable, but a capsule. We also always have aloe around in case of burns. Eileen Morgan The Mare's Nest http://www.enter.net/~edlehman --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: What do you have in your medical bag?
Hola guys! Excellent list, Eileen! I would add quick stop powder and an antihistaminic...in case a bug bites! Over here you can buy it with no prescription, and I always ask my clients to have one handy. On Dec 28th I was on vacation and a client called me on the cell from a camping site in the beach near Acapulco, his dog was bitten by a...don't know the name in English!!! A nasty bug...scorpion? Anyway, no vet around but they could buy an antihistaminic in the town's pharmacy, injected her and the swallowing stop. Luckily Lola continue enjoying her vacation in the beach Ü.
