That is so interesting to see the different medications used in a different part of the world.
My box typically contains Vetricyn and Furazone for superficial wounds, a linament for muscle soreness, banamine for colic, and bute for lameness. I'm sure there was more but I haven't looked in it for a while now. (please forgive all the mis-spellings!)

I guess it is all similar just the other " brand" , I have so much more of those cremes or gels but the label faded out after some time so I did not wanted to list somethig I dont know its name. Vetalgin is my favourite thing. That medicine saved my horses life many time. I always have a bottle extra of it.

Sadly I find there are a lot of Items I would love to have in my emergency box that we aren't always aloud to have (my vet doesn't give anything out!)
I have..
phenylbutazone - it's a non steroid anti-inflammatory
antihistamine - incase of an allergic reaction
DMSO gel - it's a topical analgesic and aids in reducing swelling and has shown to help in the healing process.
Flunixin (also known as "ban amine") - it's a non-narcotic, non-steroidal analgesic agent with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity. (**colic**)
Poultice
vet wrap
I always have ton's of gauze and normal saline in my emergency kit to clean out wounds.
Thermometer
card with "normal" vitals on it (in an emergency it's hard to remember)
Stethoscope
Drugs I want but can't have in my box: TMS tabs for infections (large spectrum antibiotic), I want some acepromazine (it's a sedative) --sometimes a horse can cause more damage by panicking/moving if they are stuck in a fence or what not.
My kits pretty full it's hard to think of everything off hand.

I'm thinking it is probably similar to banamine.

Yea banamine is one of the only drugs that my vet leaves at the farm and its legit only 1 prepped 10ml syringe. I wish my vet would give acevet though! I've tried... it's sad. And worse part is I went to school for vet tech and still I get treated like a dummy. I hate it.. I think I should start calling him my "old" vet lol

We can list so many items and the best and important one is the vets phone number, a neighbor who can help. and perhaps fire department and emergency phone number in case anyone is not home and people need to be reached.

Maybe that would work for you horselady. And others. But in my region there is no horse vets at all. Yup. Not a single one.

That is all good and fine. But if the vet cannot come out immediately then having these could literally be lifesaving. |
