I would like to make a first aid kit for my cat and I would like to know what brands and items are good and effective?
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!

Best first aid essentials for rats?
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

I really need help right now my dog has a wound on his private part (penis). What should i do to tend his wounds?? Any first aid suggestions??
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Aldog. It is difficult to say without seeing a picture. You can always submit your question again attaching a photo. Otherwise, I recommend keeping the area clean and dry. Place an E-collar on him to prevent any licking that can cause self trauma. The wound is more likely to become infected if he licks. He will need to see his veterinarian if it is not healing. I hope this information helps!
