First Aide Box Question

[Twoleggedmotherhen]

Technically, it's prescription. Realistically, you just have to buy the stuff labelled for large animals. I used the tablets that are formulated for dogs once (was a kid. Had an allowance-based budget. I'm not sure how well I did the math, but it seemed to work.)

OK so I look for dog,goat, cow, horses.

Baytril you will have to order online.

Your rooster booster (Poultry Cell?) should have most of the B vitamins and has a good list of other vitamins/minerals too. If you feel you need it, then B-Complex would be what I would get.

That Rooster Booster is fine.

There are certain circumstances where you may need more Vitamin E than what something like that will provide. Say, you have Wry Neck, then you would ramp up the E and give B-Complex. I would not buy Selenium at all, it can be toxic and only a very small amount is ever needed -egg, tuna, sunflower seeds provides sufficient amounts.

A lot depends on where you live an how easy you can get products too. I DO keep a few things on hand - poultry vitamins of course and first aid supplies. Syringes, I order those online - Ebay and Amazon are great. Needles I can order those or pick some up at TSC.
If I needed something special like B-Complex or E, then I would just send someone to the store - in my town grocery, pharmacies and Walmart are open 24/7.

It doesn't hurt to have a good "all purpose" antibiotic on hand. Baytril would be a good one to choose. I do keep something just in case too.

I'll get the B Complex and order the Baytril. Have some insulin syringes left from diabetic dog. He passed away last April. Donated the new bottle of insulin and 80 syringes at our vet's office. They give to someone in need.
Thank You for your help on the injured chick. She is going great, by watching her you would never know she had a injury. Other chicks didn't and haven't pecked at it. It looks so much better. Healing so fast it is amazing. She even did the motions of a dust bath on the potty pad.
It was the injury that got me going what else should I have on hand.

Glad this has helped you too. Dogs and Chickens have better first aide boxes than our first aide kit.
