The hydrogen peroxide is probablly good to clean it at first, but don't use it regularly. Ralph normally cleaned things this way, and when Sadie just had her surgery a few weeks ago, Ralph mentioned tot he vey he was using hydrogen peroxide to clean it. They told him that will actaully destoy some of the "bacteria" helping the wound heal.


Spot had a similar puncture wound a few years ago. If I remember right, the vet gave us an antibioccream (like neosporin) and an oral antibiotic. I think they also shaved around the area to clean it out.
