    My civvie has what looks like an open, draining wound on his neck. Does anyone know what I can put on it until I can get him to the vet, and where I can get it? Will the stuff we put on our cuts be ok?

    You can pack it with sugar and wrap it.
    The sugar forms a highly intense concentration that helps dry the wound and inhibit bacteria.
    If you had honey, preferably manuka honey, that could be used too.

    Reference links here.
    Including the Merck Veterinary Manual here.
