Medical Kit - Questions

[BonnieBlue]

I have several things on hand... electrolyte, B12 solution, Coccidiosis treatment, permethrin powder, Elector PSP on order, Vetericyn antimicrobial spray, and a few other things I cannot remember.

I am wondering what all people keep in their med kit for pests/injury/illness? What are the critical things that you feel need to be on hand so you don't have to wait to get something?

I know I wouldn't be able to cover everything, but I'd like to have things (if possible) for the most detrimental of incidents should they arise, or most common.

I have supplements to prevent mite problems. Some herbal powder to mix in the feed and a liquid to add to the water.
And diatomaceous earth for the sand bath and the inside of the coop (with water used as paint )

If needed I make electrolytes myself.
Pain med can be some-kind of aspirin I keep on hand anyway.
The same with vaseline if I ever discover SLM (leg mites) and antimicrobial spray if they have a wound.

I bought a small spray bottle with permethrin once when I needed a quick fix with red mites. I still have half the bottle.

Because my chickens free range a few hours almost every day, they are quite healthy and can search herbs for self medication. Never needed/used any serious medication.

I have poultry cell and hydro hen on hand for when I need it during hot weather, sick chicken, and general chick care. I also have vet wrap in case I need it for my chickens or my dog as it works well for the both of them. Gauze is always good to have to put under the vet wrap. I also have VetRX on hand too which has proven useful given the various applications of it.
