Keep a magnifying glass, scissors, tweezers, hemostats or needle-nose pliers, and a penlight in the first aid kit for removing thorns, or other foreign objects. Nail clippers and a nail file are handy as well. Also keep styptic powder or cornstarch on hand to stop bleeding from a broken or torn nail. Grease-cutting dish soap can be included in the kit to clean away oil or other debris on your rat's fur. A first aid kit should also include cotton swabs, cotton balls, cloth and paper towels, disposable gloves, lubricant jelly, and a rectal thermometer. Other things to include in your kit are a wound disinfectant such as chlorhexidine, eye wash solution, sterile saline, and ear cleaning solution. Bandaging material is important as well. The most commonly used bandaging supplies include square gauze of various sizes (sterile is best), non-stick pads, paper and adhesive first aid tapes, gauze rolls, and Vetwrap. Finally, It is important to have your veterinary clinic's phone number and di

Hi and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! If you are interested in creating a first aide kit, I would recommend including the following items: 1. Gauze pads and rolls 2. Medical Tape 3. Antiseptic spray 4. Hydrogen Peroxide 5. An ice pack 6. Medical gloves (either latex or non latex) 7. Lubricant (petroleum jelly is ok) 8. Thermoeter 9. Scissors 10. Tweezers 11. Cotton Balls and Q-tips. 12. Sterile Saline Solution For any of the above, any brand will be okay. First aid kits are meant to be a temporary solution until Jackie can see her veterinarian. I hope this helps!

Ensure the puppy has been fully health checked, microchipped and vaccinated and contact the vet involved to confirm they know the puppy - I see you have her down as 6weeks old and spayed/neutered - this is very early and you should question the breeder as to if and why this has been done. You should arrange a puppy safe area of the house (indoor crate or partitioned off area) with no low hanging wires or cords they can chew or become tangled in, have plenty of spare, war, soft bedding and at least 2 food/water bowls, puppy training pads (if using) and an appropriate sized leach and collar to start training around the house. Have some appropriate sized chews and rope toys (avoid human items such as old shoes etc as this can encourage unwanted chewing of important pairs!). Ensure a dog sitter/walker or daycare is available if you will be away for longer than 4-6hours and arrange a vet check within the first 3days to ensure all is well! Good luck
