The Equine Vet Kit

At my house a little bitty equine vet kit like this one just doesn't work. There is just not enough stuff in it for my horses needs. And if you have a horse like my Money Pit, you really need a big one.
Vet First Aid Kit (equine)

I built up my own vet kit. first I went to Home Depot and got this really cool rolling tool box.

And then I stuffed it full of the majorly important stuff needed for a horse wound emergency. Unfortunately this tool box as big as it is, still isn't big enough for ALL the equine leg wraps, hock wraps, and knee wraps. Those all have a box of their own. This still has one package of roll cotton. 
Cotton Roll Sterile (1 lb) 12-1/2" x 56"

Several rolls of roll gauze.
First Aid Only 4" Sterile Conforming Gauze Roll Bandage, 12-Count Bags 
Tons of Vet wrap
3M Vetrap 2" x 5 yd, Color: ASSORTED 
Betadine Scrub
Betadine Scrub 16 oz. 

Gauze pads
1200 Non-Sterile Gauze Pads/Sponges 4x4 12 Ply 4" x 4" Bandages
And a bunch of other topical  ointments and wound care treatments. 


Then the neat thing about this tool box is the upper level, where I've put  things like bandage sissors
Lister Bandage Scissors
and Duct Tape, contractor grade tape is the best for wrapping hooves.
Gray (Duct) Tape - 2in. x 60 Yard Length 
A hoof pick or two as well as some hoof knives.

 a flashlight

and clippers to shave around wounds

Then in the lit there are a couple really small compartments that are perfect for a second small flashlight with extra batteries and needles and syringes. 




So whats in your vet kit?
