    Benadryl. You don't want an allergic reaction to cut off his air supply. Just put the recommended amount in a plastic bag so you don't have to figure out how much to give if the time comes. Then, put some extras in another bag if you are so far out that you can't get to a vet in a timely manner.

     

     

    didn't even think of that! What's a safe dosage?

    This is all in a little bag 9 x 7 inches!

     

    I bought it from GEM and we keep it with us at all times.

     

     

    what is GEM? I just bought a bunch of stuff last night on a online medical supply site. I think the rest of my kit can be gotten at the $ store. peroxide, water, etc. I plan to get 2 little tool boxes at Big Lots, one for the car and one for the house.

    What should my canine first aid kit have? I was thinking some nolvasan scrub, waterproof butterfly type bandages for ears and such, vet wrap, gauze, etc. I just came back from Petsmart, they are completely useless. I spend 30 minutes looking at all the bottles in the dog section, finally asked someone and the only thing they had was a 1/3 of a roll of vetwrap priced at $3.99. :rolleyes: I can get a whole roll for $1.99 at a tack shop. I guess I'll be ordering products from online and paying shipping. I just want to make sure I have everything to cover minor injuries that don't require vet care.

    And then there is me - who worked up your adoption application. :rolleyes::lol

     

     

    No way! LOL I talked to you on the phone. :lol Planning on driving down to the farm on 10/4 to see if we can find a compatible pup. We are both so excited, we can hardly wait. Poor cats have no clue they will soon have to share their 'space' I was given this forum address by the same friend who suggest I look into getting a greyhound. She mainly just reads, can't post here because her email address isn't accepted. I had to use my work email. This place seems to be a wealth of info.

     

    Can't wait to see pics when you get your grey.

     

     

    You guys may be sorry you requested pictures. :P I tend to be a little picture crazy

    I never imagined I would find someone from the very same adoption program! I guess this forum is bigger than I thought, or it's just a small world. :) Everyone there has been so nice so far. I've have never done anything with an adoption agency before. Previously our pets have always been strays that have wandered into our lives at the right moment. I was worried because I've always heard horror stories about how rescues make you jump through hoops, etc. Everyone has been so helpful and down to earth. I'm currently waiting for a call from the mysterious 'Dog Matcher' but several people have mentioned that the new dogs are coming in on Saturday. I'm not sure if I can make it down there on Saturday AM since I live 3hrs and 30 mins away. I'm trying to get a friend to pick up stuff at a Church for me at 10am, so I don't have to be in town. :) Do you know if all the dogs usually get adopted right away?

    Pet Health Insurance?

    in Health and Medical discussion

    I would say the best thing to do is do a search on this site for pet insurance. Lots of people ask and there are lots of answer.

     

    Personally, I have it. And VPI probably wishes I didn't. Onyx just starting being a profit for them. She's 13.

    Pearl....they probably hate that name by now. She has heart disease and hypertension. She has maxed out for 3 yrs i a row.

     

     

    Is VPI the best choice out there? They seem pricey. Honesty insurance confuses me! lol It takes a large effort to sit down and search through all the details of every company :)
