Question

My dog has a open wound under her neck from a regular collar what can I do to help. Pet's info: Dog | Cane Corso | Female | unspayed

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

1) take off the collar and do not put it back on. 2) cut or clip away the hair around the wound to facilitate cleaning the wound, 3) clean the wound with a mild disinfectant 4) let heal by itself. If there is no pus or infection there is no need to put an antibiotic on the wound. If it looks like there is infection or if the wound is deep, or if you are not able to do steps 2-3, you should take Bella to a veterinarian for wound care.
