One of my horses is a veterinarian’s dream - sometimes it feels like if he goes a week without a vet visit he feels neglected and quickly figures out a way to fix the situation lol. In particular, he has chronic cellulitis and frequently requires antibiotics (which have to be ground, syringed, etc), plus various types of leg wrappings, ointments, etc etc etc.
I currently have all his bandages, medications, ointments, medical supplies (syringes, thermometers + probe covers, grinder…) in a number of Sterilite bins in front of his stall. On the one hand, these are good because they have gasket seals and protect everything well, and can be stacked. But it is a pain, too, to be constantly stacking and unstacking and opening and closing bins, there’s nowhere to put prepped syringes or to set things while prepping (it’s a big barn), and things often end up just getting left out or on top of the bins.
I’m looking for a better, more convenient and user-friendly solution for storing and accessing his medical paraphernalia. The only thing I can think of is a set of rolling drawers, like what you see in a doctor’s office. But the true medical carts are mega expensive (like over $1000 - of course that’s practically just a drop in the bucket for this horse, ugh!) and super heavy steel, and the cheap Rubbermaid-type ones are unstable and break easily, plus the drawers don’t work well and are very small and don’t seal well enough to keep out barn dust.
And I can’t seem to find anything in between.
Does anyone have ideas or suggestions - aside from the dog food factory? It would need to fit in front of his stall.
ETA: I’m not sure if here or Horse Care is the best forum for this post, so starting here…
