Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do not advice that you use Wonder dust for treatment of a dog's abscess. These usually need draining, flushing and systemic antibiotics to properly resolve. Wonder dust is more for treatment of proud flesh in horses. Good luck!
