Hi, I'm Dr. Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Spring!!! I think he needs stitches. I'd bring him to your Veterinarian at a minimum for antibiotics and have him looked at for possible other health issues from neglect. I am so sorry you are going through this.
