Thank you for submitting your question regarding Onyx. Tonight try to prevent him from scratching the area any further. He will likely need to wear an E-collar. The can gently clean the wound with warm water and just let it air dry. He will need to see his veterinarian tomorrow as he may require an antibiotic depending on how deep the wound is. I hope this information helps!
