Dog Medicine Chest-What you should have at home in case of an Emergency
Saturday, December 8th, 2007Sometimes we don’t have time to rush our beloved pets to the vet, so its a good idea to have a few bits an pieces handy around the home. Some are for use in an emergency or to carry your pet over till your veterinarian is next available.
Vaseline. Use this on his nose, on his eye wrinkles, any place you need to soothe and waterproof but don’t need to medicate. Use it also on the thermometer when you take his temperature.
Plastic RealLemon. If he gets phlegm in his throat and chokes on it, a couple squirts of juice from the plastic lemon will help clear it out.
A good rectal thermometer. Temperature should be between 37 and 39 degrees celcius.
