Has there been any negative change since the pics you posted earlier? Looks like white blood cells mixed with some red. Completely normal for such a wound. If it starts turning creamy white, texture like cottage cheese, or worse, greenish, and smelling bad, then you're dealing with puss and an infection. I would try to gently squeeze or apply even pressure to the area around the wound opening to reduce swelling by draining any large build up of fluid.

You can then rinse/wipe away any build up with maybe a 50/50 mix of cool water and hydrogen peroxide applied by cotton swabs or a small sponge, followed by plain water rinse, keep the area clean. Then apply a bit of triple antibiotic (neosporin) to the wound. as long as it's healing well I wouldn't go giving shots... just let it do what it's doing. I would NOT cover it as it seems to be doing well healing by air drying.

I'm not a vet, but this is what I'd do.

Thanks that's what I've been doin and it seems to be good, it's very sore I know and he hates me messing with it, but I don't mind a few bruises from being horned if it means my big ole buck stays healthy I love him and he knows it lol.

Thanks so much and well at least I have some pen on hand now in case something happens and I need it later. :)

Hey There! How's the buck and dog doing? Haven't heard anything so I'm hoping guessing things are OK.
