first aid

what do you have in your first aid box for dogs , i normally have
hybi-scrub
cotton wool
bandage
ear cleaner
germoline
vetzamine powder
antiseptic cream
glucouse
tweezers
buttercup syrup
syring

i have most of that apart from the hibi-scrub and glucose and ear cleaner

i bought some blood stop swabs the other day ... they might come in handy

i use sudocrem on mine too ..but i make sure its rubbed in properly and see that they dont lick it.

sudocrem is brilliant stuff, i always have glucose in cos if the dogs ever feel really off colour not eating or been sick, they still seem to want to drink the glucose water because its sweet but it boosts there energy levels , besides my first aid things i have all kinds of lotions and potions

ooooh fred is having glucosamine tablets every day, is that a similar thing, or somehthing completely different :2431:

whats good for boosting appetite .... i bought some stuff the other day but you have to get your dog to lick it off the spoon, and the amount fred needs to lick for his weight is somehting like 6 spoonfuls, and he wont lick half a one :rolls eyes: : ....

http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/glucose-powder_1_12159.html not glucosamine i had that paste for susie, just had to squirt the required amount on to a piece of boiled ham and pretend to give it one of the others , she soon eat it

ive been putting it into his food instead.... was hoping there would be something simpler like a little pill :2431:

It is, hopefully I won't have to use it lol
I got it from eBay for £19.99 which I thought was good and it was delivered next day.
Where my bf has moved to he doesn't have a garden but has got miles and miles of farmers fields and public footpaths and are a bit stoney so I thought I'd rather have to much stuff than not enough

sounds good Steff

I have Sudacrem
Aloe vera cream
Thornit
Stop bleeding powder can't remember what its called
Flower essence etc

I need your scrub Sue and your glucose stuff
