  • Benadryl antihistamine



  • Betadine antiseptic



  • Buffered aspirin



  • Cotton swabs, balls, and rolls



  • Eye wash



  • Forceps or tweezers



  • Hydrogen peroxide



  • Kwik Stop powder



  • Scissors



  • Sterile gauze, both rolls and pads



  • Syringe with the needle removed (for giving liquid medication)



  • Syrup of Ipecac



  • Thermometer



  • Tranquilizers (as prescribed by your veterinarian)



  • Triple antibiotic cream or ointment
