What do you all keep in your bunny first aid kits?

Also, where do you get your supplies ie Fibreplex/Panacur/probiotic etc from?

At the moment we've got about ten bottles of liquid panacur, a load of towels, some fibreplex, a bottle of Baytril, a bottle of Canaural for Teds ear fleas:lol: a bottle of Maxitrol for Chi's eyes, a bottle of Exocin, about ten tubes of Bob martins mite stuff :rolleyes: a tube of Fulthalmic, a bottle of Ivomec, nail clippers, wound powder and a box of syringes

Forgive me for asking what is probably going to be a daft question but...

What is the frozen goat's milk for?
 
:shock: i don't have anything! i have a pair of nail clippers and some hay :lol:

what should I invest in? I've never needed anything yet... got me all worried now
 
er I really dont have much.

Beapher Flyguard (three monthly - to prevent flystrike and fleas)
Beapher Fly Free (weekly -only use this when lots of flies around, and in case of emergency)
Panacur (every 6 months I'm going for- who really knows)

Tiacil (on prescription)
Echinacea (dont know if this works but it's supposed to be a general tonic)
Pellets (I dont believe in feeding rabbits pellets unless they were to get sick and lose weight- and for bribery purposes of course:oops:)
I usually have some pineapple juice as well(to encourage gut movement apparently - needs to be fresh though)

and generally round the house somewhere i have lots of towels.
I've also used black tea in the past as an emergency treatment for cleaning rabbits eyes.

I've never clipped my bunnies' claws - they spent a lot of time running around on concrete (and digging up carpet and destroying sheds).

If anything serious came up I'd just go straight to the vets which is about 5 mins away- I wouldnt know what to do with anything else! but I'd like to know what might be good to have

by the way there's a sticky on this in the rabbit care reference section. But i'd avoid tea tree oil as it can be toxic even in small doses
