    Default Medications to always have on hand?

    I was reading the first aid care sheet that was posted. So basically, what I've come down to, is that this is what we should always have on hand in case of emergency...

    Panacur (Febendazole)
    Flagyl (Metronidazole)
    Neosporin
    Pedialyte
    LymnoZyme

    Anything else you would suggest? Do all of these maintain a good shelf life? With 4 frogs now, I would definitely like to have this stuff on hand and ready to go when needed. We have a vet only 15 mins away that deals with exotics, and I spoke to him and he said he has a lot of experience with amphibians, so at least that part is settled.

    My frog medicine cabinet has a bit more of a homepathic feel.
    I'm stocked with honey, neosporin, camomile tea, distilled water, and 200$ for gas to get to a vet. I live 100 miles from nowhere, and would have to take my kids to a Chicago vet.

    I keep neosporin (or polysporin) without any pain killer as the topical anti-biotic. It can be used for multiple purposes. Silver sulfadiazine is also good to have but you will need a prescription (it can be used as a topical anti-biotic for nose rub, for example). Gentamicin sulfate ointment is another option to neosporin.
    I also keep Maracyn which I also used as a systemic anti-biotic. Some use Baytril.

    I keep chamomile tea and Wally's Ear Oil. I've treated more than one animal with that ear oil, including a wild skink my Mom's cats butchered - works great. Plus, I get ear infections pretty often (ahh, the joys of being allergic to half my animals) so I use the oil for myself too.

    Wally's Ear Oil?? Is that like garlic drops? I use hylands homeopathic ear drops with my daughter for ear infections, it has chamomilla in it, but it also has belladonna, and while safe for a big human, I doubt it's safe for a little frog!! I don't want to drug it up LOL

    Lol! It is mostly tea tree oil with some garlic in it. Homeopathic chamomile works great for ear infections too.
