improves typo, removes stray space character, makes aspirin and ibuprofen non-capitalized (they are not propertiary brand names, but names of chemical substances).

The risk of being bitten is too high (especially if you try to flush it with a desinfactant, which hurts). The benefit is probably low because the bacteria are in the tissue, not on top and you're not properly trained to tend such a wound. The dog should be able to keep dirt out. Just take care it isn't infected with maggots as well. | |
| Mar 6, 2019 at 22:42 | comment | added | Hamid Sabir | Thanks alot. I must add though, the dog keeps on licking at the wound. Doesn't dog saliva have healing properties? It's been 3 days and the dog stood up and moved around for the first time today on it's own. Thats when i became certain of the wound. Incase if the dog does somehow allows me to tend to it's wound, what should i do? Clear the area with a spray bottle and apply an ointment of some kind along with the oral medication that you've advised? | |
