What do you keep in your First Aid Kit for the barn?
Sunday, December 28th, 2008Paint Pony asked:
After a quick trip to the vet this morning (nothing serious), I got to thinking. What does everyone keep onhand for minor First Aid in the barn? I keep Furizone, Cut n Heal, peroxide, vet wrap, iodine, etc. Not just something you need a prescription for, but just good items to keep on hand for the minor everyday bump, scatches, and scrapes that horses seem to get. Or items that can help in an emergency until you can get to the vet. A lot of new horse owners may not have these (or even know that you can use a lot of household items for horse First Aid) and sharing this information could save someone a lot of stress.
