Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Re:emergency kit
I tend to agree with you. I have 9 ferps: they do not
go to shows, do not associate with others, never leave
the house. They can still get sick or hurt. What are
the basics for a layperson to have for at home
emergencies?
Also, how much should be administered?

I missed the reason for the emergency kit posts, but if
they
are the lay person- these kits are way too involved-
required IV insertion, injections, giving meds that
should
only be giving by a vet or trained person.
For a lay person, who needs an emergency kit, the
typical ones
for cats/dogs, including the stypic powder, the karo
syrup or
glucose tabs(dissolve and make a solution), Benadryl
liquid,
baby food on hand, pedialyte.
è -2 small bags IV fluids, one spiked with dextrose, IV
è line, needles-tube of icing sugar (for
è seizures)-scissors-1cc, 3cc and 10cc
è syringes-injectible epinephrine, benadryl and
è dexamethasone-amoxicillan (unmixed liquid) and tylan
è powder-styptic powder-Pet Nutri Drops-Biocain
è antiseptic cream-hemostat-alchohol and betadine
è pads-electorlyte powder-pepcid tabs-peptobismal
è tabs-small bottle of Ferretone-thermometer-tube of
è Nutrical-a couple gauze sponges and a roll of gauze-q
