Medical kit for treating stray dogs on the spot

Dear Animal lovers,

I would like to share this useful info which I've received via fb (thanks a million Charu Shah:-) for sharing this info:-)!

This medical kit can help you to treat stray dogs on the spot. These are small medicines that will fit easily into a purse, but when need comes can save a life!

1. ivermectin tablet (strength 6 mg)- this is very effective in case of a maggot wound,. if the dog is friendly, then crush the tablet, and dab the powder on the wound to cover it completely, and then apply some cream like soframycin or acrilin to prevent the powder from falling off. this is very effective and maggots are killed next day (only in cases of severe infections, u need to apply it again)
incase the dog is not friendly and dosent allow u to go near, this tablet can also be crushed and mixed in milk and given orally. it can be repeated next day (i dont prefer oral medication if external works). it is much better than chloroform which is difficult to carry and burns like hell! i have used this in small quantities on 1 month old pups with maggots and they got better in 2 days!

2. acrilin ointment- it is a cream like burnol or soframycin, which is really good for healing wounds. u can apply it on wounds and they will heal faster

3. tincture iodine (red liquid)- this is a human medicine, but works really well in healing wound on animals also. it can be applied with help of cotton, and then acrilin can b applied on open wounds. it is also useful to kill ticks. if a drop is put where the tick is, it will fall off after 2 days, and this medicine is not harmful if ingested orally also.

4. neosporin powder- this is a dry powder which can be sprinkled on wounds which are wet. if the dog dosent allow u to touch and apply cream, then u can spray this powder from top and it will help to dry the wound.

5. topicure spray- its a spray which heals and also kills maggots. u can spray it on dogs who allow you to touch them, as most of the dogs will run away when they smell it.

6. saheli- this is an ayurvedic contraceptive which i use on female dogs in heat. this was suggested to me by my vet, and i have used it quite often. this, when given at an interval of 48/72 hours, will not get the dog pregnant and is very good in case u see a female in heat and dont want to let it have pups. no harm in popping 1 pill into the dog even if u are just passing by, who knows u may prevent a litter! use this only as a temporary option, it is not a permanent solution. it is not to be used for longer periods, but if u cant get the dog operated immediately, this medicine will prevent a litter. the female dog shud b operated after 15/20 days after the heat period is over.

7. arnica (strenght 30)- this is a homeopathy medicine and very useful for pains. it is a pain killer and keeps the dog little better. it sometimes helps in healing wounds which are not externally visible and are painful.
