Emergency Kit

[rodders85 6]

Wondering what kind of kit everyone keeps for emergencies for their dogs. I.e field first aid kits and supplies for illness or injury. Interested as I could do with getting a first aid kit together for in the field before I start working my pup.

Cheers

Got some skin staplers and removers if you interested?? Pm me

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Skin stapler, vet wrap, bandage, tape, saline eye wash solution, purple spray, wound powder and a bottle of lucozade isotonic.

 

The latter brings exhausted dogs round, and fast.

Spot on. Decent shopping list there.

Thanks for that

A pistol

Got one

A vet

Got one of them too

vet wrap an anti septic powder would be a good start, few pain killers and a suture kit if your up to it

Don't think I'd me much use at stitching. Plus he's a bit of a woos, staples probably best. Cheers

I catch boar with my dogs so my cut kit is probably more extensive than what most would require so I'll not bore with all that's in it. I would like to point out that having something with you such as bedadine or hydrogen peroxide and a large syringe to flush deep lacerations and puncture wounds with is a good idea. This will help prevent infection by killing bacteria. Tweezer to pick out grass seeds or other litter is a good idea. Gauze, vet wrap and a good blood clotting agent is extremely benifical in the worst of times. Always a good idea to have some water too.

All that I just mentioned I will never be far from when hunting my dogs. All this and much more can be carried in a back pack or smaller pack carried around your waist. These items will allow you to travel light and buy you time to get your dog to better care.

90% of my first aid in the field only involves flushing wounds with bedadine or hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection and giving a hot dog water and wetting it down. That takes care of most everything I encounter. The other 10% is where all the other supplies comes into play

and those materials I keep in a large bag in the truck.

Get out for a while with an experienced hand no good having a kit without knowing what you are treating and how to proceed.

That's not practical or realistic really. An accident can happen anywhere at any time. At home and in the field. I'd have to tag along for hell of a long time. To be fair I didn't ask what experience I need, or what to do in an emergency. Rtfq

When Doctors train dont they go to Medical school to train without having to attend accidents? People train so when and if an emergency does happen it can be dealt with. Instead of using the emergency field pack as a seat.
