Clean it with soap and water. If you can, clip the hair around it, so it gets air…don’t put his collar back on it, until it’s healed. If it doesn’t start looking like it’s healing up good, then take him to the Vet…he might need antibiotics.

You want to use medicated shampoo on a wound? I wouldnt recommend it. If it is infected, he’s going to need some sort of antibacterial something. You can check at the pet shop but you’ll probably have to go to the vet.
