Hi, if the wound is superficial apart from cleaning it and keeping it clean there is not much that needs to be done. If Keywi seems uncomfortable when walking, I would suggest that you put a bandage around his foot. Hope this helps, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
