First Aid - Toni Mcallister
First Aid Basics
Ensuring that your horse receives proper veterinary care is a basic requirement of horse ownership. At times, however, you will need to administer first aid treatment to your horse while waiting for a vet to arrive. Be prepared by compiling a well-stocked first aid kit.
First Aid Kit
Here’s what you should put in your kit:
• banamine (flunixin meglumine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug)
• Betadine Surgical Scrub
• bucket
• bute (phenylbutazone, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug)
• cotton gauze bandages (assorted sizes)
• duct tape (often used to wrap an injured hoof or, temporarily, one that has lost a shoe)
• equine eye wash
• extra lead ropes and halters
• flashlight with spare batteries
• gauze wrap
• ichthammol (a drawing salve
with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties)
• Liquid Bandage
• paper towels
• permanent marker pen
• petroleum jelly
• pillow or quilt wraps
• pliers
• povidone-iodine
• PVC tubing, six-inch diameter, in lengths of one and one-half to two feet, cut in half lengthwise, like a gutter (for emergency splinting)
• rolled cotton for bandaging
• sharp scissors with blunt ends
• standing bandages, or wraps
• sterile surgical gloves
• stethoscope
• stopwatch (to check heart and respiration rates)
• syringe (large) to dispense oral medications
• thermometer
• triple antibiotic wound ointment
• vet wrap or adhesive wrap
Store your first aid supplies in a pest-proof container away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Keep dirt and
