  • Gauze bandages and gauze pads
  • Scissors
  • Strips of clean cloth
  • Safety pins
  • Wooden ruler or tongue depressor for tourniquet
  • Wooden paint-mixing sticks for splints
  • Hydrocortisone cream
  • Muzzle
  • Rectal thermometer
  • 3% hydrogen peroxide
  • Saline eyewash

  • Blankets and towels
