Hello Mustangmom --- if you can obtain turmeric powder from the spice section, cover the site generously and observe what it does.
Turmeric is a natural antibiotic, producing new blood and protects from secondary infections. If your dog licks it, it will be beneficial, too.
Give a scant tsp. daily in hemp or best quality olive oil over food.
Please keep in touch , so we can follow up.
Namaste, Om

Please please please get some 12 UMF Manuka Honey onto the wound and cover. Change the bandage every couple hours. You could sprinkle some turmeric powder on the wound first, or maybe somr garlic oil, too. Change frequently and aggressively get rid of the infection. Castoe oil is great too in the form of Castor Oil Packs. Worked like a charm on my dog!Replied by Kathryn4 (Maryland, US) on 11/28/2014
Could be a fungal issue. I had a friend with the same problem and that is what it was with her pet.
