Ohh and another thing to add to the kit ... is the vets contact number

Didn't think about mite treatment....never had an outbreak but I guess callingtons and ardap would be useful additions

I forgot I also have viscotears for retained eyecaps

Yeah I said eye drops earlier just couldnt remember the name, yeah I always have a can of Ardap around, just in case.

Ohh another thing that I always have about is lots of Paper Towel.
