You can only have fifteen…what are they?

[seabreeze]

Fifteen tubes, bottles, canisters, etc., of all the things…shampoo, first aid topicals/sprays, fly sprays, ointments, hoof dressings, linaments, etc. Prescriptions and pills don’t count…

What are your fifteen?

Mine are:
Scarlet oil
Chlorhexidine
Neosporin
Medicated powder (like Gold Bond)
Healthy Hair Care Moisturizer
Epsom salt poultice
Witch hazel
Cowboy Magic detangler
Cowboy Magic rosewater shampoo
Miracle Groom
Keratex hoof hardener
Vetrolin
Pyrhana fly spray
WIPE fly spray
MTG

[RedHorses]

My first gut reaction is “I don’t think I have 15 things I actually use…”

Zinc ointment
Antibiotic ointment
Antifungal ointment
Eye ointment
Iodine
Iodine based scrub
Mineral oil (baby oil)
Petroleum jelly
Anti-gas

Healthy Haircare
Shampoo
Conditioner
Farrier’s Finish (thrush, etc hoof topical)
Wipe (I think we can’t get this in Canada any more, but I will have some kind of fly repellent)
Swat (though we can’t get it in Canada any more)
Dawn dish soap

Linseed oil soap (for tack)
Leather conditioner

Cowboy Magic (I got it as a gift, I use it, I probably won’t buy it again)
Hoof Saver (primarily used to soften my senior’s scar so I can scrape off the always building excess scar tissue)

Turns out I have more!

[Kinda_Kooky]

Puppies.

[Jackie_amp_Starlette]

Cats

[foursocks]

Ferrets?

[mikeyscott]

Vet wrap
Betadine
Epsom salt
SWAT fly repellent
Pyranha fly spray
Witch hazel
Corona ointment
Neosporin

Some mentioned vet wrap but I’m working under the impressions wrappings were not part of items in question (I read it as liquids/ gels/ ointments/ goos of various sorts). I definitely don’t use 15 products (as long as we’re excluding wrappings lol I have a bunch of gauze types and vet wrap).

• Listerine ACV Chlorahex mix
• Chlorahex
• Zinc based wound ointment
• Fly spray either yellow Pyrannaha (sp) or Ecovet
• Dawn dish soap (or off brand) for cleaning and shampoo
• Green listerine for cleaning buckets and making the aforementioned mix
• Ethnic hair olive oil leave in conditioner (there is a specific brand and I will only use that)
• Artimud (though I won’t be buying more)
• Glycerine leather soap
• Effol leather conditioner
• Pink Healthy Hair Care spray which I could live without and mostly forgot I have

ETA two more

• ACV for the mix and for cutting soap after baths
• Shapleys #1 light oil for pre clipping baths, makes a huge difference

Fifteen??? I think I have like four at any given time.

Fly spray
Nu-stock
Durasol
Betadine (the sugar stays in the house)

I don’t shampoo regularly, it dries the hair out. I only ever did before a show, and I haven’t shown in a few years now. I just rinse with water.

I guess I’ll add Listerine as a fifth for the occasional rain rot.

[outerbanks77]

E3 Tea Tree Shampoo
E3 medicated cream (this ultimately did the best job on my mare’s cannon crud, and cleared up some weird scabby, possibly insect induced thing my gelding had last summer)
Mane N’ Tail (there are better conditioners out there, but this one is a classic and not too $$)
Underwood’s + baking soda
Zyrasil
Manuka honey
Artimud
Equiderma spray
Tri-Tec fly spray (I rotate through fly sprays though, because it seems like what works better depends on the year/season)
War Paint
Liquid coconut oil
Cowboy Magic
Quic Braid
Diluted alcohol and cheap hairspray (for kinesiotape prep)

[Texarkana]

I’m also not sure I have 15, or at least not 15 that I use regularly.

Chlorohexidine
Betadine
Triple Antibiotic
Silver Honey
Swat (even though I’m doubting it works anymore)
A lanolin-based product
Icthamol
Fly spray
Some sort of Show Sheen or detangling spray
Shampoo (I’m not picky, rarely use it)
Vetrolin

Do things like saddle soap count?

[pony_grandma]

Only one here with eye ointment? I’m shocked. When you need it, you need it! And I’ve used in on all the animals here.

Terramycin - you can get at Amazon, PetMedMart (cheapest) Tractor Suppl if you’re in a rush.

[mmeqcenter]

I usually have the triple-antibiotic eye ointment on hand, but it’s a prescription and OP said no prescriptions

[RedHorses]

Then my eye ointment doesn’t count either. I wish I could still get Polysporin eye ointment at the pharmacy.

Once I open eye ointment, I will not let it sit around. It gets used for the duration of treatment then discarded, because I don’t trust it to be clean anymore.

And in the bulk of eye situations, I’m going to call the vet. And my vet is really good about prioritizing eyes.

That’s why I don’t make eye ointment a “must have.” In a true emergency where I can’t get a vet, I’d run to the local pharmacy and pick up sterile eye wash. But I don’t even stock that anymore because 99% of the time it would expire unopened and it’s easy enough to get.

Not saying my thought process is right or that you shouldn’t stock it, but that’s where my mindset is at.

[LCDR]

Local TSC manger told me that they have a hard time keeping Terramycin eye ointment in stock. It seems it is one of their most commonly shoplifted equine items, and their computerized restocking system doesn’t know that it is gone.

Need a big cardboard backer??? I’ve seen it in the meds lock box usually.
