make sure Zeus cannot lick or scratch the area. He may need to wear an elizabethan collar at all times or a shirt if he wants to scratch it. Otherwise I recommend to leave it alone. You want the lesion to stay dry and to be open to the air. The medication will make him feel better quickly. I hope he heals up fast. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
