I'm glad you are taking Loki into the vet in the morning! Yes, cover it tonight with a bandage to protect it. Put a cone on him to keep him from licking the area. If you don't have one already, I will put a link below on how to make one at home. I hope this helps! https://www.rover.com/blog/how-to-make-a-diy-cone-of-shame-for-a-comfier-happier-dog/
