Hi there. I suggest you try this product. Apply a thin layer 2-3 times per day. Keep the E-collar on. If after a 4-5 days you are seeing minimal to no improvement then I suggest you take him back to your vet. https://www.animates.co.nz/aniwell-active-manuka-honey-ointment-100g.html As a side note, are you sure the E-collar is long enough go past the end of his nose? If not, he can still lick the incision so you need to make sure he is wearing the correct size. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
