I'll give a detailed list, not going into the reasons for each item, all the items are in my "vet box", because at one time or another I have needed, or wanted them.
Keep in mind this is my personal box, for my type of dogs, in the country I hunt. From my house its 35 miles to a vet, many places I hunt I am 3 to 6 hours or more from a vet. I am no vet, I just wanna do my best to keep a dog alive, if need be.
Dexamethazone
Ace
Rompum
Penn Procain G
needles
syringes
Nitra furazone spray, or cream
cornstarch (to stop bleedin)
Stitch kits (needle 24 inches of waxed thread, in a sterile pak)
Electrical tape
length of close line
Vet wrap
sterile Gause
Super glue
Needle nose pliers.
Scalpel w/ extra blades
I keep all of this in a plastic ammo can, in the back seat of my rig.I only take it out in the winter, so stuff don't freeze, but never run dogs with out my "vet box".
I hope to pack this stuff day after day ,year after year, and never need it, but the reality is, I use it from time to time, and glad to have the stuff.
I have other stuff at the house,but my "box" is just a "first aid kit". I got this list from a buddy of mine but that is what I carry with me all the time.

Benadryll is a must have for me. We get a lot of dogs snake bit in training season.

i carry a staple gun, perizode, iodine plus alot that was listed above.

does benidrill work good for snake bites? is that for all snakes or just non poisonious

[Outlaw 3]

Benadryll is for venomous snake bites. What happens to you or your dog when you are bit is an allergic reaction to the venom. Benadryll is an antihistamine which helps to slow down allergic reactions and keep them from having their full affect on the victim.

A staple gun is a must also.

I was told by an older hunter something that he use to use before benadryll was a raw egg and milk. Just put the yoke in the milk and mix it up than have the dog drink it. It helps to kill the venom and reduce swelling to.
