I don't know if there is a sticky of this somewhere, I imagine there is.... but incase there isn't, I thought this should be one. :)


I HAVE FOUND SOME NEW INFORMATION THAT WORRIES ME A BIT. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK BEFORE ADMINISTERING ANYTHING. KAOPECTATE, PEPTO BISMOL AND ASPIRIN (EVEN BUFFERED) COULD POTENTIALLY HARM YOUR CHI.

Here is a new link to check out due to the above warning...
Can You Give a Dog or Cat Aspirin?

Things You should have in your Chi's Medicine Supply Kit!

Adhesive Tape
Eye Wash
Pepto -Bismol
Aspirin Buffered (ascriptin)
Robitussin
Bandage Scissors
4 x 4 gauze pads
Sharp Scissors
Benadryl (antihistamine)
Rolled gauze
Sterile Dressing
Betadine antiseptic
Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
Syringes 1cc & 5cc
Blood Stop powder
Kaopectate
Thermometer

ETA... I removed flea spray from the list. Most flea sprays are dangerous and shouldnt be used. You can simply use dish detergent and it will kill fleas. There are also natural flea killing remedies you can use. Google it ;-)

Just learned from our vet when I mentioned buying Pedialyte, she said be sure not to buy the sugar free variety that it's toxic to dogs.

To the poster from UK, the generic name of Benadryl here is diphenhydramine.

If you trim your dog's nails, you def have to have styptic powder on hand. Doesn't matter how careful I am, I've had to use it more than a couple of times.
