If you can, it would be a good idea to flush the wound around the drain with a diluted antiseptic two to three times a day. We use dilute chlorhexidine solution and a 12mL curved tip syringe. You're vet can get you the solution and syringe and show you how to flush. If you can't flush the wound, warm compressing it two to three times a day will help keep the wound open, clean, and draining. Otherwise, just make sure you are giving him his antibiotics until the end of the course, and keep the wound clean. If the dogs are likely to scuffle, keep them separated.

Good luck!
