You can buy a ready-made first-aid kit for kittens, but it is not easy to get. So we suggest you to assemble such a first-aid kit yourself. You can use a shoebox, a small plastic box, etc. as a container. Keep the first aid kit in a place that is accessible to you and inaccessible to the kitten.

Below we list the 10 most necessary medications:

  • Sterile bandages, absorbent cotton, band-aids and gauze;
  • Antiseptics (peroxide, boric acid, bicarbonate, manganese);
  • Anthelmintics - e.g., Drontal or Prazicide;
