Horsey First Aid Kit

[Mbronze]

So tomorrow I'm going to give my first aid kit an overhaul, this is what I have included in my list so far

-Cotton wool
-Hibiscrub
-Gamgee
-Animalintex
-Antiseptic wound cleaner and clear wound gel
-Sterile dressings
-Vaseline
-Bandages
-Scissors
-A clean towel
-A roll of silver duct tape
-Nappies -for emergency polticing!

Now is there anything obvious that i have left off my list??

 

[TS_]

I always try and keep hold of a few emergency danilon or bute, for just incase. Other than that I think you've got all of the things I'd think of.

I do have some left over bute stashed somewhere, but do you know whether it has a use by date? Its prob about 4mths old.

 

[TS_]

I don't honestly know, however I've never thought about use by dates on pain killers (

) and I gave my mare a danilon that was well over 4 months old a while back and as far I can tell it's had no adverse affects. Also my old cob that I had on loan used to have a massive box of bute as he was on it permanently and it used to last a few months, so I'd say at 4 months you'd be fine. However may be worth while checking with a vet or someone.
