It is that stretchy sticky bandage vets use and people use on horses.
+1 to this my other half is a vet nurse and she put a kit together for me . she says the rules for a dog are the same as us nothing in and nothing out , just dress and go to see a proThe bandages that stick to themselves (cohesive). Vetwrap was the original brand, but there are many copy versions now of equal quality and lower price.
A cheap white open weave (WOW) bandage to improvise a muzzle.
Curved scissors to clip hair from a wound.
Think of it as first aid - most of the stuff you can share between you and the dog.
Regarding the antihistamine tablets, I was talking to my vet the other week and he said that they are a bad thing to give the dog if it is bitten by an adder as it can cause their immune system to drop, he said its best just to drive it to the nearest vet ASAP as the tablet would take a long time to start working anyway.
Any of the more knowledgeable agree with the above?
Personally I can't see an anti-histamine doing any harm, and I would be happy you giving one.
What would be a bad thing is delaying veterinary attention to source such tablets, ie going home to get them if out etc.
ive seen antihistamine tablets work on a dog that's had an adder bite. However we were quite far away from the nearest vet.
