Hello, thank you for your question about Ted. Based on your description and the photo that you've attached I would recommend having Ted seen by a veterinarian. Depending on the severity of the cut Ted may need to have the wound repaired. If it is not deep the can still flush out the cut and provide you with an e-collar. If Ted continues to lick at the cut even if it is not deep or bleeding currently it could develop a secondary infection. Hope this helps!
