Ouch, poor Bert! I would try gently cleaning the cut with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep the cut clean and dry, and keep him from licking it by putting an Ecollar on him. You can get one at a pet store, or make one at home. I will put a link below on how to make one at home. Monitor the cut, and if it becomes red, swollen, warm to the touch, or you see pus then it's infected and Bert will have to see a vet for antibiotics. I hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ffR-LzyW1M
