Don't forget about the cavy health record book.
various syringes for handfeeding and cleansing
leftover ab's (my vet gives me a little extra)
saline and BNP for eyes (usually lasts but is prescription)
critical care in freezer
wound cleansing stuff (eg. clorihexiderm)
nail clippers
scale
charcocaps, beano, simithicone (for gas, OTC)
we already have needles and LRS solution (prescription)
vetwrap would be helpful. we have leukotape in a bind.

It's a sports wrap/tape. My husband always has it for his knees. Vetwrap is better (and cheaper) for someone that is going to buy it for an E kit.

I keep the Albon around for rescues who come in with coccidia. That is the only indication I've ever used it for. It is just a general thing I keep on hand in the first aid kit, something I wouldn't be without for ones who come in with poopy butt and can't get to the vet til the next day or so.
Septi-soft is hospital product for cleaning perineal area--has soy and coconut oil and works great plus kills a bit of the boar butt smell.
This is a very helpful thread.

Gosh, I have almost nothing.
Critical Care
2 needle syringes
lots of needless syringes (2 different sizes)
scale
baby gas drops
I tend to throw old medicine out. And my vet won't give me any other stuff to keep on hand.

Some pigs like canned pumpkin mixed with thier mash/CC. Spinel likes real pumpkin. We bought a pumpkin for hallowe'en and never carved it so I gutted it and carved all the flesh from the inside of it and froze it. So I take a handful of the frozen pumpkin, boil it, mash it like potatoes and add it to the mix. I assume that's pretty much what they do at the pumpkin canning plant, but not as fresh.
I have freaks for pigs, I swear.
