You know--A & D Cream (not ointment) works really great too--comes in a tube-usually in baby dept at drug store. But I'd let it air out a bit after cleaning w. Peroxide.

A holistic vet recommends Calendula Gel. It heals things very quickly. I used it on an infected spay incision (cat) and cat bite (me). It's amazing.

Then either antibiotic ointment or an herbal, Golden Seal powder or liquid.
