[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 431647, member: 6198"] in the cow medicine chest you should always have on hand some LA200, an anti inflamatory, needles, syringes and a few extra incase one breaks, epinphrine incase of a reaction to something given. Mineral oil...incase, alcohol for disinfecting and iodine for a scrub. Those are the basics. the rest comes as you have a need. For example you have pnemonia in an animal, LA200 does not work, trip to the vet and you get nulflor or something else to help it take a hike. Then you have nuflor in the medicine chest. Each drug is costly and has an expireation date. And must be stored differently. Brown bottles, out of the light, some in the fridge, some in a cupboard. Each bottle gives storage instructions. As well you should have some type of book, log if you will where you record the shot, what, where it was given, IM /SUBQ, broken needle if one was lodged inside, and withdrawl date from last shot. I see you have the RFID cool. Lastly, develope a client/vet relationship with your vet, get advice on vaccinations, calving, then when you have an off hours emergency, call there might be a contact number to call, or leave message for the vet to call you back. Rarely does an emergency happen during 9-5 but rather weekends, hoildays, midnight etc [/QUOTE]
