How Many are Prepared For Dog Trauma and/or Medical Emergencies?
Posted March 17th, 2009 by admin 2 Comments »
I know I’m not all the way prepared, and I just thought about this, but, I know what I need. I just wonder how many that are in Y-Q&A - Pets - Dogs now are prepared and if you know what all you might need.
And, if those that are prepared might share with others what a good preparation plan and supplies would be in their opinion?
IT’s Spring! Don’t forget to change the Batteries in your Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detectors!
I know some things I need to do or already do or have include the following. If any have any other input, please share.
1. Vet’s PH# posted in Fridge and pre-programed in phone.
2. A Back-up Vet’s Phone Number and alternative Clinic.
3.. A First Aid Kit for Dogs or Humans with plenty of like supplies. Includes items for wounds, dressing, scissors, tweezers, items for stings, and bites. Salves, and other topical treatments.
4. Activated Charcoal and other Poison Treatments that are ingested.
5. Toll Free Number to the APSCA National Pet Poison Hotline: 888-426-4435 -or- Angell Poison Control Hotline for Pets: 877- 2ANGELL
6. Contacts to Family, Friends or Kennel in case of Personal Emergency to have Dogs/Pets watched.
7. A Bloat or Stomach Torsion Emergency Kit for Big Chested Breeds.
A few of these things I need or need to do. Any other ideas to add to such a list are welcome and appreciated.
