i know you said the cut is infected so you do need antibiotics...back in the early 1980's I used an injectible triple antibiotic and it worked great, also stitched if the cut was fairly large.
in the late 1980's I started using cut heal right away after a cut at 3 times a day and it and this works just fine... 2 times a day will also work but at the beginning 3 times a day is best, and very seldom do I need to stitch a dog but sometimes it is needed...and it is unusual for me to use antibiotics on my dogs but I do keep them on hand for just in case...I keep ampicillen 500 milligram in capsule form and usually my daughter steals these for the grandchildren...
also keep cephalexin 250 mg in capsule...but like I said...very seldom need antibiotics. Cut heal can be bought at most feed stores including TSC...
there are other treatments that folks talk about on here that they swear by...so this is not the only way but it works great for me...
