As long as he isn't in a lot of pain I would probably wait it out.

Did the vet say if it is ok to apply neosporin to the wound to help it heal faster?

He doesn't seem to be favouring it so much now that I changed the bandage. The vet didn't put him on any pain meds, just antibiotics.

Yes, the vet also put a neosporin type product on his foot when he wrapped it and said to put some on whenever we change the bandage so I put a big glop of it on today.

it is starting to heal so maybe it's just itchy and thats why it's bugging him.
