Cat First Aid Kit.

I never thought about it but I am sure a first aid kit for my pets would make a lot of sense. So to make your own get a see thru plastic container. On the inside of the lid place a list with the following number. The Animal Poison Control number, Your Vet's phone number, and the Local Veterinary Hospital. Also have handy in a plastic bag your pets health records. Keep in mind that a lot of things we have in are homes are toxic to our pets. The following are handy to have in your pets first aid kit. 1) Tweezers to remove splinters. 2) Nail Trimmer. 3) Scissors, handy for hair clumps or foreign objects tangles in their fur. Be careful not to cut to close. 4) Betadine Sponges for cleaning wounds, with an antibacterial cleanser. 5) Saline Solution to remove dirt or foreign objects from eyes. 6) Peroxide. Only use if instructed by an Emergency Animal Hospital. This induces vomiting. Do not use on wounds. 7) Triple Antibiotic Ointment.. 8) Sterile Telpha pads, non sticky, these are to place under bandages, so as not to stick to the fur. 8) Bandages. Well this isn't a hard list to gather up, and as always it is best to consult with your vet when in doubt. Happy Healthy Cats.
