Experience with Emergency First Aid?

Hi all! I'm a writer/dog human doing some research on people who have used emergency first-aid for dog injuries and am looking for some good stories. If anyone has a story about how they were able to help their dog (sometimes just long enough to get him/her to the vet), I'd love to hear about...

I'm going to be grooming 2 bichons on Friday. The woman e-mailed me a couple of weeks ago, said she had 2 that needed grooming, and also wondering if I knew anyone looking for bichon puppies, because she had 2 left. We've been e-mailing back and forth to make the appointment. In my last e-mail...
