| This is one of two pages that we dont' enjoy writting. When owning such large and curious (actually nosey is more like it) dogs, accidents may occur. This is a list of handy items to keep on hand . We like to keep everything in a basket so we have evrything ready should need be. |
| Latex gloves-TRUST ME! you'll be glad to have them |
| Maxi pads-yeah a little weird but they're great for large wounds, and have great absorbancy |
| Paper towls |
| Old towls that are designated for your dogs only |
| An old sock-this can help if your dog wont leave their bandage on |
| Plastic sandwhich bags-your vet might need some type of sample, better than using your tupperware (see I told you those rubber gloves would be handy!) |
| Pedyalite-should your dog have continous vomiting and/or diarreah, you want to make sure they wont become dehydrated |
| Tweezers-make sure the tips match, you can use theese to remove stingers, splinters, or foreign objects in cuts |
| A squeezable bottle of iodine-it's easier to squeeze on the wound as appose to using prep pads for cleaning |
| Spray antiseptic-once agian I recommend the spray kind for ease of application |
| Surgical Tape-look for kinds that wont stick to hair/fur |
| Pepto Bismuth-because rottys get tummy aches too |
| Sharp scissors-to cut through bandages or anything else your dog might be caught in |
| Various cotton balls, swabs, and pads to aid with cleaning injuries to grooming |
| Ice packs and a heating pad-gorgeous they are, graceful they are not |
| Rectal thermometer-the name says it all |
| Lubricant-see above |
| Meat tenderizer-mix with water to create a paste, this is good foe insect stings or jellyfish stings |
| Eye dropper-I like the measured kind so you can give accurate dosage |
| Clean warm blankets-have two on hand. one to keep your dog warm if it goes into shock and another to transport your dog easily. have another person aid with this. |
| An extra leash-no matter how much you two love each other, a dog might snap at its owner out of pain and/or fear. An extra leash can be fastened into a muzzle to protect yourself and the dog from further injury. It can also be used as a tourniquet, but only in worse case scenarios. |
| Flash light-I know this is an obvious, but do you kow where yours is? Do the batteries work? Accidents happen at night more so than the day. |
| Most important-Patience and calmness, your dog will feed off your emotions. |
| Your dog's records with updated shot history |
