Place an e-collar (cone) on Tucker to prevent rubbing or scratching. Clean the area with dilute Betadine or chlorhexidine and dry thoroughly. You can apply a dab of triple antibiotic ointment on the spot once or twice daily. It should heal up quickly. If it spreads or doesn't heal, have your veterinarian examine Tucker.
