Syd was quite right on the Benadryl, Prednisone and Amoxicillin. Like to be ready for anything when travelling to shows, so my kit probably goes beyond just first aid, but items I still may need in an emergency. I carry Cephalexin, Sulphatrim or any TMS antiobiotic, and chloramphenical in event I ever get the dog flu again. Other great items to keep are: acidophilus, physillium fibre (metamucil), immodium and kaeopectate for loose bowels and the old standby pepto bismal.....still great for upset gut. For pain I keep both metacam and rimadyl. Always have some injectible banamine in event I have to deal with a high fever very quickly. Vet wrap, gauze, alcohol, peroxide are musts. Liquid tears to flush the eyes and a non steroidal eye cream, vinegar and water for an ear problem along with either Otomax or Panalog. Friars Balsam and liquid bandaid for cut pads, and Triple A antibiotic cream for dogs or me......and yes, it is a good size container !
