Anne-Marte's Fuzzy Medicine Cabinet
- Something sweet like Nuprical/ferretvite if the ferret need a sugar boost (insulinoma kids with seizures.
- Nailclippers
- Scissors
- Styptic powder as I know you fellow americans tend to cut the nail short-short-
short (CL taught me not to clip them as short).
- Thermometer
- Some kind of cream or ointment for small wounds ( I do not know the english word, and I am too lazy to go get the dictionary)
( note from Lily: In USA, Neosporin or like brand)
- Something to clean wounds with (like Chlorhexidin)
- Some bandages and band aids (for you and the ferret LOL)
- Some Q-tips for cleaning (not ears)
- Some cotton pads for ear cleaning and other cleaning
- The telephone number to the vet and other important phone numbers
- The vaccination cards and other medical information for that ferret or those ferrets
- Important information about the ferret. Like how many heart beats a minute, body temp and so on.
- Some syringes for feeding food/water or medicine
- Some sterile carozine (
) for those blockages (is to be used only after consultation with a vet. If you give laxatives or food when they do have a blockage you will start the bowl movements and that can damage more than it does good).
- Surgical tape for getting the bandages to stay on
- Brush and toothbrush and a scrape for tartar and plaque

A medical record for each of your ferrets stating allergies, vacinations , illnesses etc. Sometimes when there is an emergency it is nice to have all the info ready for the vet. Saves time with treatment and diagnosis.
A small box with a blanket for transportation of an injured ferret or other small animal.
Tweezers
A little kit for making a torniquet (in case of a severe laceration) Can also double as a little splint for their tiny limbs
A sticker outside your house stating that there are _ number of animals in your house in case something happens when you are not there.
The vets phone number and a back up vets phone number located next to the phone in case some one else is caring for you ferrets (also a pic with the ferret's name and description so if the house sitter need to take the ferret to the vet the vet will know who it is)
