Often looks a lot worse than it is sounder,kept clean and given a bit of time i think looking at your pics it will heal well mate i dunno what your spraying on it but i can recomend cut-heal as i heals from the inside........its good stuff.

Id put the dog on a good firm course of clavamox as a preventative. if not clavamox some other antibiotic of a mid grade potentcy. Better to spend the money in prevention now aas opposed paying for it later. Id also definately up the dogs allowance of protein. Its going to take a lot of protein to heal a cut like that , thats alot of mending to be done in those pics for sure. .... one other thing are you going to use just the stitches visible or is there a nexaband hexaband type adhesive in there as well? if using an adhesive remember to leave the lowest spot and the deepest gashes open , as they are usually a natural drainage point.
