My dog has an oozing neck sore from food. What should I do now?

Question

I recently bought a bag of purina one from Amazon and the next day my dog has a sore on the back of his neck that's oozing? I went to read the comments on amazon about this purina one bag and it's apparently happening to other dogs also . Will this go away on it's own now that I have purchased a new bag of food from a store ? . Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 11 months and 3 days old | 65 lbs

Ouch! That sore does look pretty large, and if you suspect it was food-allergy related, switching back to his other food (or a different bag) is a good idea. I would continue to keep it as clean and dry as possible, and if it's not healing, or has already been there several days, bring Bear into your vet. Your vet can carefully trim the hair in the area to see how large the sore is, thoroughly clean it, and provide you with antibiotics and pain meds as needed to help the area heal and Bear feel more comfortable. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and dry, keeping Bear from rubbing or pawing at it with an E-collar or T-shirt, and keeping the site monitored is best.
