I was cleaning out the shed/barn earlier and found the goat first aid kit. I decided to keep some of the stuff (vetrycn, blue kote, etc.) for the birds since we don't have the goats anymore. Then I started to wonder if any of you guys had a first aid kit for your poultry and/or water fowl.
So my questions are:
Do you have a first aid kit?
What are some medicines that you consider to be must-haves?
What's in your first aid kit?

you don't have to go into great detail, just the main things that you usually use for a sick or injured bird and what you use it for.

Do you have a first aid kit? Definitely!
What are some medicines that you consider to be must-haves? Terramycin Ophthalmic Ointment (corneal abrasions), Vetericyn Plus Wound Healing Spray (all kinds of wounds), Vetericyn Ophthalmic Gel (eye irritation), Neosporin, Clear Iodine (bumblefoot), Duramycin-10 (bought some at the end of the year to have on hand before the restrictions went into place), Corid (coccidiosis), Sav-A-Chick*, Poultry Nutri Drench*
What's in your first aid kit? Vetrap (keeping bandages on, can also be used for splay leg and angel wing treatment), hemostats, forceps, sharp scissors, gauze pads, cotton swabs

*Sav-A-Chick and Poultry Nutri Drench are electrolyte/vitamin supplements, and I also provide probiotics via fermented feed and raw vinegar in water
