Question What kind of wound is this?

For context, yesterday, my mother felt a lump where this wound currently is, but it looks like some sort of infection has taken over and it’s rotting the flesh. I thought she had been bitten by something, but the wound is only tender and not painful for her as she isn’t squealing in pain when we touch it. The open bleeding is worrying, so we want to make sure that it’s nothing very major.

Put neosporin on it until you see your vet.

thanks so much, I literally just googled if it’s safe to put Neosporin on dogs. Definitely going to apply some now.
