I've started making a list of first aid supplies to pick up so that I can have them on hand if ever needed instead of finding myself in a frenzy trying to scramble in an emergency. Can anyone make suggestions of what I should include? Even if I do not purchase and have on hand everything on the list, I'd like to write things on a notecard so that I can easily reference if necessary as I do not know what 'common' ailments/injuries to expect.
Such as:
Food Grade DE- for dusting birds and coop, I believe helps with mites and lice
Saline Solution-for washing out cuts/wounds/eyes
Hydrogen Peroxide- I've heard yay's and nay's on this. Storey's recommended using it on wounds. ????
Neosporin- topical for wounds, will this hurt their eyes?
Bandages-???
Eprinex- mites/lice
Wazine- round worms
Please feel free to suggest additions, or even removal of items from the list. I just don't know what to expect and would like to be prepared. Additionally, I prefer an organic approach whenever possible.
Thanks!
