Horse
First Aid
A barn first-aid kit is mostly about cleaning and covering a wound until the veterinarian sees it, and this page lists the 22 horse first-aid products on pipestonefarmsupply.ca for exactly that. Antiseptics come from Betadine (solution and spray), Dettol (500 mL and 1 L) and Acceleryn (100 to 525 mL). For dressing there is Fiske's skin and wound salve, DVL scarlet oil pump spray, and the GHS Furazone 0.2% nitrofurazone ointment and solution; nitrofurazone is a veterinary drug, so read the label and follow your veterinarian's direction. Bandaging supplies include the IVS flexible cohesive bandage and the Kerbl Fixino elastic gauze bandage, and the barn basics from Golden Horseshoe and GHS cover glycerine, mineral oil in 1 L and 4 L and milk of magnesia. Keep the phone number of your veterinarian on the kit lid. Orders ship Canada-wide from Millet, Alberta.
