A few years back on a grouse hunting trip to Michigan I had my first opportunity to see EMT Gell in action. We had arrived after a 12 hour drive just before dark. So we took the dogs to a nearby cutover so they could burn some energy before nightfall. On the first pass by us my setter was red with blood from the tip of his nose to back past his rib cage and we had not even started hunting yet. After a clean up with blood pouring from his mouth I discovered something had punctured his tongue. It looked as though someone had taken a hole punch and pierced his tongue. The pool of blood on the ground had me wondering just how much blood a dog could loose before being in serious trouble.
I remembered having the EMT Gel and the good results on torn ears etc. so I quickly read the tube to see if there was a restriction on internal use. None present so I thought what the heck, might as well give it a try. I applied some followed by a bit of pressure and the bleeding stopped in a few minutes. We watched throughout the night and saw no signs of further bleeding. We hunted him hard for the next week and it never did bleed again.
EMT Gell - fantastic stuff- never be without it. And, you can damn well bet that if I ever need to stop a would on myself I will not hesitate to use it.
