I'm glad you were able to get to the bottom of it and have him surgically treated.

Things that I think I'll use the most--vet wrap, non-stick pads, furazone, what have you--go in a tupperware in the top shelf of my trunk while the pile of other crap goes in an old SmartPak drawer in the bottom of my trunk. And then of course as soon as I get everything swapped out and organized I usually need everything buried at the bottom of my trunk and nothing from the shelf because story of my life.

I ended up buying a big rubber tote that I keep in our tack room for all his bandaging stuff- it's just SO MUCH. And I was buying more stuff every other week off Amazon and from the local feed store. I am still occasionally buying more stuff- but thankfully Rio's bandaging is now down to a minimum. I swear I spent over $300 in bandaging supplies after his surgery- but then again I had 2 surgical sites to wrap, so double the supplies. Good luck managing everything- and it looks like you already know to buy in bulk!!!<br /><br />-Kelly @ HunkyHanoverianKelly the HnkyHanoverianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336047158009394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-46710326132202806002017-10-10T11:54:08.380-07:002017-10-10T11:54:08.380-07:00yea i can see how the organizational needs might c...yea i can see how the organizational needs might change depending on the nature of the injury. and that's so hard with Nilla being not a very easy patient. definitely adds a whole new level of stress!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-80086489816762239372017-10-10T11:53:06.562-07:002017-10-10T11:53:06.562-07:00ugh yea it's been a calamitous couple of weeks...ugh yea it's been a calamitous couple of weeks for charlie. that damned splint. blergh. it's gone now tho so, all crossables crossed, we just focus on moving on with life! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-42160627536791645442017-10-10T11:52:35.054-07:002017-10-10T11:52:35.054-07:00ugh seriously that sounds awful, poor pony! also t...ugh seriously that sounds awful, poor pony! also tho, why just black duct tape? if it's pony related, i highly recommend going a little .... outre with it haha - as in charlie's flying pig duct tape wrap from way back when he had that hoof abscess lol. science says that fun duct tape makes the ponehs heal faster!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-43444260482357973142017-10-10T11:51:21.312-07:002017-10-10T11:51:21.312-07:00haha yessss all that preparation is perfect tho fo...haha yessss all that preparation is perfect tho for warding off any evil, right???? isn't that what the boy scouts say? or something!?!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-43512347097560227292017-10-10T11:45:19.973-07:002017-10-10T11:45:19.973-07:00I have ended up reassembling my first aid kit with...I have ended up reassembling my first aid kit with each new injury. I was also upfront with my vet when Nilla broke her leg.
