I always keep a thermometer, some probiotics, Dawn dish soap (for bloat), blood stop powder or corn starch, iodine, alcohol, saline solution, a bag of ladies' sanitary pads (my go-to for bleeding wounds instead of more expensive gauze), and a few rolls of vet wrap. I also make sure I have a few various-sized syringes for drenching, as well as an assortment of needles and syringes for giving shots. I also keep a few books handy that tell what certain ailments and emergencies look like and what to do for them. Oh, and I also keep a lot of towels and old washcloths in my emergency kit. As the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says, "A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker (or goat keeper) can have."
