Meds for an Emergency...First Aid Kit

[nanafish]

What meds should I keep stocked for C-Horses/ pipefish for an emergency? Any useful tools or gadgets as well?

 

[Driftwood]

I am about to get a pair of CB horses myself and would like to know this as well. Are there any threads in existence that summarize the different ailments and how to treat? I would like to be prepared in case the med is something I have to order.
