Hello, sorry to hear about Noddy. That wound is in a tough location. You should ideally have that seen by a veterinarian so that they can start treatment for it. It will likely need more than a spray to heal. Given it’s location, it may take several weeks to months to heal completely. There also seems to be a draining tract which should be explored for any potential foreign material. Hope this helps and best of luck.
