Poor Panther! That looks like a pretty nasty bite wound. The yellowish discharge indicates that the wound is infected, so I would recommend taking him to the vet for an exam - he will likely need prescription antibiotics to treat the infection. In the meantime, I would use a warm washcloth to keep the area clean and wipe away the drainage as often as needed to help keep him comfortable.
