1. Keep the wound clean – Continue applying Betadine 1-2 times a day to prevent infection. NOTE-Avoid strong antiseptics like Dettol or alcohol, as they can be harsh on the skin. 2. Apply an antibiotic ointment – After cleaning, use a pet-safe antibiotic ointment to help healing. 3. Rest is key – Restrict his movements 4. Cold compress (if swelling). 5. Pain relief(vet specific)- avoidhuman painkillers..

Swelling/increasd pain– Could indicate a deeper injury. Persistent limping beyond 2-3 days – Might need an X-ray to check for fractures. Pus, foul smell, or excessive redness,, require infection control (as per vet adv). If he’s still struggling to walk after 1-2 days or the injury worsens, a vet visit is essential to rule out fractures or ligament issue. Hope this helps.thanks
