Harvey,
I tend to agree here with Don. I had a friend who was bit on the
stomach. It ate a hole in him that grew and went very deep. He did
use the activated charcoal both in the wound and took it orally, and
it did help to stop the problem, but he did need the M.D.s to cut out
the dead hide and keep it dressed, etc.
I would say to use the M.D. and the charcoal for this one. CS would
also be helpful to keep it from getting infected. Also, the high
voltage may help.
Hope he does alright!
Jim Einert, N.D.
