bibliophile birds
Lovin' The Homestead
i've been meaning to put together a first aid kit for my birds. i'm leaving for a business trip in 3 weeks and will be leaving my Mother in charge, so i figured now was a good time to get this together, especially since we just lost Lucy Goose. i raise my birds naturally and am wondering if anyone has any ideas or tips on what all should be included in the kit.
my thoughts so far:
vet wrap
peroxide
iodine
saline solution
blue kote
blood stop (do you guys prefer the spray, the powder, or the little gauze squares?)
neosporin
surgical superglue (for small cuts)
water soluble probiotics
scissors
medical tape
syringes (needle-less)
i'm sure i'm forgetting something obvious. help fill in the gaps?
also, would you bother including items for treatment of things like avian botulism that you might feasibly never have to use? i know in situations like that, treatment needs to be done really soon after symptoms appear so would you go ahead and have them on hand?
