Emt Gel

EMT gel is something we'll never be without again. We've patched up countless cuts and scrapes with this stuff and it forms such a nice protected scab area AND gives them a dose of antibiotic at the same time. The only way this product could be any better is if it weren't so sticky - I often feel like I'm going to become permanently stuck to the dog while applying it.

Pros: heals wounds, stays put, works really well

Cons: incredibly sticky when applying, hard to clean wound after it's been applied

I have used this for my donkeys. I lived near a dairy farm and had a lot of blowflies and biting flies. I used it for any scratches or bad fly bites-after cleaning them well first of course. It worked very well as far as keeping out contamination and flies or irritating gnats. I also used it on a dog in summer time, it worked less well, possibly for the reasons I stated in my Con , that it may close the wound too well not allowing air and drainage in. I think it is a matter of using it on the right type of wound and animal. Not too keen on using this in a deep wound exept as an emergency close, I am not an expert though. On the dog, it was ok but amy have puppeld on the edges of the wound too much. As I said ,worked well on the smooth mucular are of a alrger animal, which did not have a doeep wuond, the scrathes and bad flybites healed perfectly with no distress for the animal.

Pros: closes wounds, keeps off flies

Cons: MAY keep wounds closed so they can`t drain or heal:use caution and common sense
