as far as preventing infection.........clean it with sterile water...with a few grains of salt added ...(not a lot)....boil the water , let cool down (with a few grains of salt)......cleanse 2-3 times a day! I know my sister's dog had a cut (superficial) and the vet recommended antibiotic cream....same you buy over the counter ( ask pharmacist)........he said to put a thin layer as if you put too much.....Puppy will lick off! Just watch for infection.....redness, warmth, any purulent drainage &/or swelling to same area!......Hope this helps a bit!!
