Why isn't my dog's deep wound healing after 4 days on vet meds?

Question

There's a stray dog near my house. She got hit by a bike and left with a deep wound. I consulted vet and he prescribed cefpet 100 mg once in a day along with metaflam and gotbac powder to sprinkle on her wound. It's been 4days but there's not much improvement. She's eating well. Would you recommend any change in the dosage of the prescribed medicines. I also have cefpet 200 mg and meriquin 150mg in stock. She's between 12-16 kgs. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 1 month old

We can alter prescribed medications or make recommendations on changing then since that is illegal for us to do so. I would recommend having Tiny examined by the vet. Some types of wounds may need minor or major surgery to remove dead tissue or debris from within the wound.
