If he's not in standing water or mud, you might try the self-adhesive wrap. Or douse it in Kopertox (it's water resistant).

Make sure it's clean and dry. Then vet wrap or gauze & vet wrap then cover with duck tape. Still needs to be changed every few days. It will hold moisture and cause more problems.

I had a cow that I wrapped her foot with this stuff: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...rseshoes-on-lime-green-pack-of-4?cm_vc=-10005
Not sure if that is what is call vet wrap. It is stretches and was easy to work with. Not sticky like tape, but sticky enough.

Yes, Coban, Coflex, vet wrap. All the same.
It's pretty cashy when you get pretty horseshoes on it.

What do you pay for vet wrap? I thought 9.50 for 4 rolls was fair! I can live with whatever they want to decorate it with.

Post a photo of the wound. From my experience wrapping does more harm than good on most wounds. Flaps need cutting off, you will never get them healing in place. I find they heal very well. Spray something on it each day if it makes you feel better, see how TC cut open an abscess on a bull with just a bucket of cubes in the thread "working bulls".

Wait, what? I bought Vet Wrap in camo print, horsey print and every color of the rainbow (including fluorescent) when I had to wrap my leg after surgery. Naturally, the color had to match my outfit. Worth every penny!
Although it was less than $2 per roll at Orscheln Farm & Home.Attachments

I guess that's not that far off. $2 roll is what I pay. If you are at the right track sale you can get it for a $1 or less.
I've had situations like that.
vet treats it , sprays wound spray on it, take a paper towel and apply porters lineament salve on it , wrap with vet wrap. Keep him in dry bedding and change every three to four days.
back feet are bad with bulls but have had them heal.

Some copper sulphate sprinkled onto the fleshy areas will help to cauterize it.

Alumend or Alushied will keep the flies out of it. Had a horse that got a bad injury in the middle of summer. Vet came out and stitched her up and recommended after washing it with betadine and rinsing, to spay with the alumend or aluishield. Did great to keep the flies away. You might consider spraying a blue-kote on before to prevent infection.
