Hi and thank you for using PetCoach. I would give Harvey a bath and make sure that he does not itch or lick the area. He may need an Elizabethan collar for this. Sometimes benadryl may help dogs if they are itching.This will keep him comfortable in the meantime until you can get him into your vet. Your vet will performa full physical exam and determine if Harvey needs antibiotics (for a skin infection) or any medicated shampoo. Here is an article on benadryl that may be helpful for you: https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/benadryl/ Good luck!
