Injured Petsmart BP

[Helonwheelz383]

I'm just wondering for curiosities sake. Would it be acceptable to use something like neosporin or bacitracin ointment on a wound like that to help with healing and prevent infection?

Yes, but for a wide wound like this, it's not enough...he should have had stitches to close the wound (along w/ injected antibiotics), & personally, I'd have tube-fed
him to help both his nutrition (to promote healing) & his hydration. I'm glad he's got a vet taking care of him now & hope he recovers ok. Delaying proper treatment
doesn't help...
