Tomorrow marks the start of Spay/Neuter Awareness Month—a great time to assess and restock your supply kit, so your spay/neuter team will always be prepared to manage emergencies that arise when performing surgeries.

Be sure to include these items:

• Drugs frequently used in response to various emergencies

• Various-sized endotracheal tubes, intravenous catheters, syringes and needles

• Fluids for intravenous use along with lines for administration

• Porous tape and vet wrap

• Thermometer

• Karo syrup

• Laryngoscope and appropriately sized batteries

Got an emergency kit? What’s in yours?
