Hello, sorry to hear about Snoop. It looks like it may need antibiotics and potentially surgery to repair that wound. Especially because it appears as though it has been ongoing for some time. You should have him evaluated by a veterinarian so that the wound can be clipped cleaned and repaired if necessary and then so that he can have antibiotics prescribed to him. Hope this helps and best of luck.
