Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern. If it is a small sore then I would recommend using Zymox topical ointment twice daily until resolved. If it is a larger sore or the small sore does not get any better I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Garfield so that the most appropriate treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be happy to help you further!
