You just need to keep the wound open. Use Betadine and warm water and
have a clean sponge and scrub it out. It will need to drain. You may
also need to talk to your vet about getting Nova-trimel if the vet
thinks its necessary. This is just an anti-biotic to help fight the
infection which your horse may need if it is young, old or not very
healthy. Or of course if the infection is that bad.
