My dog's paw is ripped. Should I wrap it or let it air dry overnight?

Question

Hi, My name is Jessica and my dog's name is Carson. We just went rollarblading and sadly Carson's paw got ripped up. I cleaned it out woth hydrogen peroxide and put Neosporin on it too. Should i wrap it up overnight or just let it air dry to heal? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 10 months old | 88 lbs

I would not recommend attempting to place a bandage - it is very easy to make a bandage too tight which could cause more damage. Let the paw air day, and if Carson is limping in the morning or if the paw still seems red or irritated I'd recommend having your vet take a look.
