As long as he is not painful is able to walk on it, and is showing no signs of fever or poor appetite then yes vetericyn will help to keep it clean. It is quite possible however that stitching will not be possible in a wound that is no longer fresh so a immediate check would be recommended for speedy healing especially with his age
