Without seeing Sweetie's wound in person, I can't legally say if it's safe to use this pet wound liquid sealer. If the wound isn't long or deep, then it would be fine to let it breathe. Definitely put a cone on Sweetie to keep her from licking at it, and monitor it for signs of infection which include redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, and pus. Should you see any of those signs, I would take her into the vet for antibiotics. If the wound is long and/or deep, then my recommendation is to take her into a vet now for stitches.
