Medical wishlist

There are certain medical items which can always come in handy around here. Some are prescription, some are OTC, but I’m listing them here as a way of keeping an eye on things I either need now, or may need in the future. I’ll call it my “Medical wishlist”, but it’s really sort of a virtual shopping list. I’ll forget things if I don’t write them down.

EMLA cream—good for numbing skin of pets needing fluid therapy. Most animals tolerate this without a peep or any indication of discomfort, but others seem to benefit from use of EMLA, or something like a GIF-tube.
L-lysine powder is a requirement with so many cats from so many backgrounds. The slightest bit of stress can lead to virus shedding, and a daily dose of L-lysine keeps it in check. This is good stuff!
Ear cleaning solution, in this case, I like Epi-Otic. Some four-legged resident of this household invariably has dirty ears at any given time.

About

Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary is a small pet retirement home located in Las Vegas, Nevada. We care for a limited number of sick and/or elderly pets who would otherwise face an uncertain future at the city shelter. Our pets come to us by referral, often from local vets’ offices or via word of mouth. All pets are cared for in our home, where they’re treated as part of our family. They receive high-quality food, veterinary care, and lots of love and attention. In addition to elderly animals, we also foster orphaned young, especially kittens. They come to us for bottle-feeding and socialization, and are then placed in good homes when they’re old enough. Please check our Petfinder listing for more information about our adoptable animals.
