Sue,

Thanks for giving that excellent link. This is one piece
of information I will certainly print out and keep handy.
I had never thought of having a "kit" available . It makes
me nervous just reading the instructions, but, in an
emergency, we sometimes surprise ourselves with what
we can do when our dogs lives are at stake. Thanks so
much for the info. We never know when it could save a
precious life. Liz.
