Puncture Wound

[novastar]

One of my hens got attacked by a dog.
She has a tooth puncture on the side of her tail feather meat, around the top of her thigh.
Its the size of a tip of a pen, maybe a little bigger but it looks deep.
Im not quite sure what to do about the puncture hole. I've been spraying a medicated spray to help with wounds on her skin where she got bitten and on the puncture.
Should I be doing anything else in particular?
Thanks

I would soak the area and see if I could squirt something like peroxide into the hole. Then watch for abscess development.

Thank you. Pure hydrogen peroxide? or a Watered down version?

It's usually recommended to use a watered down version. If I used pure initially, I would flush afterwards with saline. Peroxide does kill new cells, as does Betadine.
