What do you usually put in a Pet First Aid Kit?

The pet first aid kit is like a small "life guard station", which can provide timely rescue for pets at critical moments. When a pet is injured or has a sudden illness, and we can't get to the vet immediately, the contents of the first aid kit allow us to deal with the simple treatment in the first time, for the pet to gain valuable treatment time. Whether at home, outdoors, or on the road, it can bring the owner peace of mind, in the face of unexpected situations no longer scrambling.

What are the usual items in a pet first aid kit? The first is wound treatment supplies, such as sterile gauze, bandages, band-Aids, sterile cotton balls and iodophor. Gauze and bandages can be used to bandage wounds to prevent exposure to the wound and infection; Band-aids are suitable for treating small wounds; Iodophor dipped in disinfectant cotton balls can effectively clean and disinfect wounds and prevent bacteria from breeding. For example, if a pet accidentally scratches its paw while playing outdoors, it can be cleaned with a sterilized cotton ball dipped in iodophor and then wrapped with gauze.

Hemostatic supplies are also important, such as styptic powder, Yunnan Baiyao and so on. When a pet is bleeding from trauma, timely use of these can help stop the bleeding, reduce the amount of bleeding, and reduce the risk of blood loss. If the pet is cut by a sharp object, the wound does not stop bleeding, sprinkle an appropriate amount of styptic powder and press for a while, often can effectively stop the bleeding.

Medical tools are also standard in the first aid kit, forceps can pick up foreign bodies in the wound; Scissors can remove foreign objects from bandages or pets; The thermometer helps us to know the temperature of the pet in time so that we can detect abnormalities. For example, if a pet accidentally eats a foreign object, tweezers can carefully remove it; When a pet has a fever, a thermometer allows us to accurately track changes in body temperature.

Common medicines are also indispensable, and pet-specific antibiotic ointments can prevent and treat wound infections; Deworming drugs can regularly dewormer pets to prevent parasitic infection; Allergy medications work when pets experience an allergic reaction. For example, pets in contact with certain allergens, skin itching, redness and other symptoms, timely use of anti-allergy drugs can alleviate.
