[Dailydrool] Fwd: Doggy first aid kit

[Menzie Chase]

> 
> I’m behind on my drools, but wanted to add what I have in my doggy first aid kit. I actually went to a class on doggy first aid, and put together my box from that class. 
> 
> In addition to what Dale listed, I have a 4 foot length of felt. You could also use a ribbon. This can make a tourniquet, or an emergency leash or collar.

> I have small bottles of: rubbing alcohol, saline wash for wounds, hydrogen peroxide, Vaseline for lubricating a thermometer, liquid gas drops, liquid Benadryl (liquid works faster).
> 
> I also have non-stick gauze pads, rolls of gauze, and a roll of vet wrap. I also bought some bleed-stop powder in little packets, you can find this at most pharmacies. I have tweezers for removing splinters or stingers, small scissors, and an instant-read thermometer with a digital readout, because dogs wiggle!
> 
> I also made 3 x 5 cards of the steps for treating certain things, like putting a tourniquet on, doing dog CPR for choking, and how to safely restrain a dog that is panicked. I put these in the top of the box because it’s often hard to remember what you’re supposed to do in an emergency.
