Oks so its almost Christmas and we can bet our bottom dollar that someBun will be working on an ailment that they can go down with on Christmas Eve just as our regular Vets close down for the Holiday !! Some surgeries will be on 'Emergencies Only' cover from Christmas Eve (Thursday) til the 29th December (the following Tuesday).
I thought it might be helpful to put together a list of things to make sure we have in/access to 'just incase'.............
Here's my suggestions and perhaps you could copy and paste the list into your post and add anything else you think may be needed
1. Details of how to contact out-of-hours Vet, especially if you are taking your Bun(s) with you if you are going away.
2-If any of your Buns is on prescription Meds make sure you have enough to last over the Holiday period. Its always useful to have some analgesia (Metacam) on stand-by if your Vet will allow it.
3-Infacol/Gripe Water
4- 1ml Syringes
5-Critical Care or similar for supportive feeds
6-Probiotics
7-First Aid stuff eg Sterile Saline, Dry Iodine Spray, Sterile dressing pads, blunt ended scissors, Vaseline, Sudocrem, Aloe Vera Spray, Styptic Pencil
8- Snugglesafe or similar
Not that I am a pessimist or anything..................
