Terramycin Water Antibiotics- Used for minor infections like eye infections that won't go away with ointment. I typically use it for treating after shows just in case.

Terramycin Eye Ointment- Of course for eye infections.

LA 200- This can be used for heavier, tougher infections like Snuffles(if you want to try cure the symptoms). I use 1/2 cc for rabbits from 4 - 6 Lbs and 1 cc for rabbits around 10 Lbs or over. For snuffles, I will inject this about once every other day starting the moment I see signs of snuffles. I usually use probiotics in the water along with this to keep their digestive system from being upset.

Probiotics- Used for regulating the digestive system through bacteria.

Sulmet- Used for some digestive diseases. Works well.

Triple Antibiotic Ointment- Used for wounds after cleaned

Preperation H- Cuts swelling and irritation. I commonly use this for Sore Hocks.

Injection Syringe- Of course used for LA200 for injecting.

Dosage Syringe(without needle)- Used for measuring liquid medications to inject into water.

Dropper- I would use it to force feed a rabbit if I had to.

Fostering kit for babies

Measuring spoons- Great for measuring out powder meds such as Probiotics or Terramycin.

Betadine scrub- Extremely important for wound care. I don't know what I would do without it. Since it is strong I water it down until it is weak tea colored consistency. Then I will soak the wound with it as a final finish to cleaning

Stop Bleeding powder- Usually just for smaller wounds like a bleeding nail.

Vanodine- Works two ways if needed. Can be used to disinfect a surface or even a rabbit. Can also be used as a light antibiotic for the rabbits to drink. Plus, can be put in the eyes for temperaty infection treatment. Never been very effective as an antibiotic so I like to use Terramycin and LA200.

Emergency Carrier- In case I have to bring a rabbit that needs emergency care inside for extended periods of time.

Isolation Cages- Used for sick and potentially contagious animals. I don't have a lot of room for completely separated cages so they have to be small and I only have a few. I also keep these cages in a nicely sheltered area that gets no wind no rain no and stays pretty cool but not cold. I also use these cages for isolating new rabbits for a couple of weeks before introducing them to my herd. Especially if I don't know the condition they came from or they came from a show.

Band Aids- For you if the rabbits decides to bit or scratch.

Sanitation wipes- To Sanitize an area where you are treating a rabbit between tending to rabbits or to clean your hands between or after handling sick rabbits.
