Emergency Care For Your Chihuahua

I think it is good to be prepared for times of emergency with my Chihuahua, as it may happen that the veterinarian could already be busy treating another animal.
I asked my veterinarian what would be some good things to include in an emergency care kit: Medications, bandages, restraints, health records and blankets.

Since a Chihuahua dog will still have wild tendencies if he is in pain and disoriented, I think it is a good idea to keep a muzzle in the kit to prevent any misplaced bites.
If I do have to take my Chihuahua to the Veterinarian for emergency care, most times they patch him up and then send him home to recover; so I have to be prepared to care for him and keep him calm, warm and hydrated.
