VANCOUVER VET SQUISH THAT CAT MERCH FULL
Acres and acres fenced to run in and a water reclamation system that included a series of sedimentary ponds, the largest and last full of Koi, pond vegation, and unbeknownst to us, bufos. My ex, myself, and our magnificient and curious miniature australian shepherd were renting in what was "Dog Heaven". I found that tensor-type wrap at the vet's that is self adhesive and stretchy - no glue, it just sticks to itself. When wrapping with a bandage, try to find the stuff that doesn't have sticky gluey adhesive as it will be very painful to take off as it sticks to the fur and pulls.

I'm a nurse, and for cleaning it I would just use saline water instead of anything too complicated and irritating - if the wound has dirt and gunk in it, in which case you have to get as much out as you can, gently. Make sure the honey is unpasteurized otherwise all the good stuff has been cooked out, and get the squeezable kind for way easier application. You do have to wrap it though, because the dog will lick all of the yummy honey off otherwise. I did this, and changed the dressing (cleaning and reapplying honey) every couple of days - the wound healed quickly and beautifully. She informed me that the honey has antibiotic and wound healing properties in it. The wonderful vet we see advised me to clean it, then drizzle UNPASTEURIZED honey all over it, cover it loosely with gauze and wrap it (not too loose, not too tight). My dog was bitten by another dog and had a large open gash on her leg.
