Chicken First Aid Kit?

[HappyClucker7]

I want to start getting a chicken first aid kit together, but I'm not quite sure what I should include. I'm going to add the veterycin spray, but what else would be good to have?
Thanks!

An antibiotic. I use La 200.

I really don't have anything just for the chickens, except the Gordon's permethrin spray concentrate for mites or lice, if/ when they turn up out there.
I have some first aid supplies for the household, and can use things for everyone.
Drugs have expiration dates! Stock up, and throw away, and still nothing usable will be there when needed.
If, for example, you know that your property has bad issues with coccidia, having some corid on the shelf may not be a bad idea. otherwise, it will expire before you might ever use it.
Systemic antibiotics expire, shouldn't be needed unless after a bad injury, and won't be necessary with a healthy flock.
Wormers? for what? Again, don't stockpile things that will expire, and can be acquired fresh pretty easily.

What is La 200? Well obviously it's an antibiotic but what is the name of it

Does this help? Its called La200 but the actually medicine is oxytetracycline

Cotton balls
Tweezers
Strips of material for bandages
Antibacterial cream
Electrolytes ( for dehydration )
Vaseline
Syringe
Tape
Razor blades ( for BF surgery)
Cotton swabs

You could have more or less. This is what I use most often.

No problem! You can buy it at TSC or I think you can also order it online.

If it's available at TSC, that's awesome! It's so hard to find good antibiotics OTC anymore. Thanks again
