Hey everyone! I really should know the answer to these questions but I don't...
so I thought I woulod ask you! =] anyways - im getting a simple vet kit together and it will do no good if I don't know how to use the contents. Okay so...lets say my horse gets a very minor cut, all I would have to do is rinse it off, maybe put some iodine on it, and then apply ointment to it like fura zone. Correct? If my horse gets a pretty bad cut on his leg I would first rinse it off, put iodine on it, ointment straight on the wound if horse allows, or if not on gauze. Put gauze on and then wrap leg with vet wrap. Correct? Anything im not sure of I will ask. Please know that I will of course tell owner of barn, get help, vet, all of that if needed, or in my case tell owner no matter what unless its just a minor cut. Im going to have to get someone to show me how to wrap a horses leg (never have had to) I heard that it can be terrible if done wrong. I have had my horse for 3 yrs now and thankfully have only had to treat a couple nicks or cuts unless he was lame *KNOCK ON WOOD* I feel like I should already know this but hey, better late than never! I was also wondering if anyone knows of a very simple little hand book to keep in a vet kit that has treatments for rather minor injuries, not one that is long and takes hours to find what you're looking for and uses words I can't even understand! Im 14 yrs old for petes sake lol! Thanks in advance! =]
