Pain relief medications (non steroidal antiinflammatory like Meloxicam) and antibiotics (Amoxycillin and clavulanic acid) are needed. The wound (depending on where it is) must be flushed and cleaned twice daily with betadine or hibiscrub solution (or salted water). A veterinary check up is essential to have the meds prescribed and the wound must be treated appropriately (eventually stitched up must be performed).
