I have made a list from several posts on the forum of items to keep on hand for cow doctoring. Some of these I am familiar with and how to use them, others I don’t have a clue. Can you guys look it over and tell me what each item is for, and how to use it? I hope I am not the only one who doesn’t know this stuff.
Am I missing anything important?
Do I need all of these?
For the vitamins, are they the type I take, or a type I would get at the feed store?
Where do you get commercial colustrum? (I know what this is for! Sadie is due in a month and this got me thinking)
LA200
Dexamethasone
Banamine (injectible and paste)
Draxxin
B complex vitamins
Double A solution
Penicillin
Ivermectin injectable
Excenel
CMPK
magnesium
keto gel
cattle stomach buffer stuff
activated charcoal
Bio-mycin and Albon for infections.
Koppertox - topical wounds and fungal
SSD
dextrose
Calcium Gluconate
lactated Ringers and a good line in case of dehydration
These items had explanations, thought I would include them too and get some feedback:
2 1/2' long piece of 3/8" vinyl tubing
large syringe without the plunger in it for a funnel to tube calves when needed.
opthalmic ointment for eye ailments.
Sustain III boluses for scour treatment with a bolus gun.
Furazone ointment for minor cuts and scrapes.
Lotrimin athletes foot treatment for treatment of ring worm
Bounce Back (electrolyte & sugar mixture) to treat scours.
Iodine solution for umbilical cords etc.
Oral Bloat medication
A scalpel to lance abscesses.
Box of needles and syringes
Dispensing gun
scissors
Wrap material
"For birth: the average cow owner, your typical cow supplies (ie buckets, halters, etc) are sufficient and a few other things (ie oral calcium, frozen or commercial colostrum, etc) are all you'll ever need."
