Thank you for submitting your question regarding Aldog. It is difficult to say without seeing a picture. You can always submit your question again attaching a photo. Otherwise, I recommend keeping the area clean and dry. Place an E-collar on him to prevent any licking that can cause self trauma. The wound is more likely to become infected if he licks. He will need to see his veterinarian if it is not healing. I hope this information helps!
