Jennifer Wooten of Trinity Eventing is here to share the essentials to pack in your traveling vet kit. These products will prove handy whether you're heading to your next show or just down the road!
Essentials include:
√ Common Medications: Bute, Omeprozole, and Dormosedan. Please remember to discuss which medications to carry in your vet kit with your veterinarian so that you have the best brands and variations suited for your horse(s).
√ Thermometer + Alcohol Spray Bottle
√ Wound Wash: Chlorhexidine + Betadine. We also love the Antibacterial Wound Wash Duo Pack For Horse and Rider to help prevent the risk of bacterial contamination on minor cuts, scrapes and bruises.
√ Wound Care: Alushield, and Vetericyn. We also love the Equine Healing Salve by Sustenance Herbs!
√ Abscess Treatment: Epsom Salt Poultice + Diaper + Duct Tape + Soft Ride Easy Boot
√ Eye Care: Triple Antibiotic Eye Cream + Fly Mask
√ FEI Rulebook (or rules from your governing membership)
