What 'drugs' do you keep on hand in case of illness?

[cmh3988]

I've been freaking myself out the last few weeks reading the 'Health' and 'ER' forums and was wondering, what is good to keep on hand for general health concerns and emergency situations? It looks like a lot of things are only available online and while I don't plan on anything going wrong it would be nice to have it if I needed it. From what I've read Neosporin for cuts/abrasions. Critical Care for bad appetite (and other things?), what else is there and what is it good for? Thanks!

Right now I have set aside...

1. Olive oil in case of impaction.
2. Neosporin and New-Skin liquid bandage in case of cuts, bleeding, or similar injuries.
3. Zilla "Shed-Ease" to help with difficult shedding.
4. Nature's Reptile "Vita-Spray" to also help with shedding, hydration, and additional vitamins.
5. Reptaid for general health and other issues. Highly recommended. http://www.reptaid.com/
6. I also have some Pedialyte (the powder form that comes in individual packets) for hydration.
7. A handful of clean, small syringes and eye droppers for administration.

Most of these I bought when my previous beardie was having so many health problems, but sadly he wasn't able to overcome them and passed away last fall. I keep them on hand just in case my new guy runs into any trouble. Mineral oil can be substituted for olive oil, and I also kept a couple jars of baby food (squash, pumpkin, chicken, etc.) in my cupboard before I decided to throw them out. They're useful if you ever need to forcefeed your beardie, but obviously never really needed until the time comes.
