It normally depends on where I am hunting. If in the marsh I tend to leave wounds open. There is so much bacteria in the marsh, it is almost impossible to get the wound clean & it will heal over but then abcess. In dryer ground, I will suture or staple most cuts if they are over two inches.  Things that help. Like said, I give dogs Ace Promazone. Clean the wound as well as possible. Deep puntures I leave open & after cleaning I shoot Tomorrow  down into the wound. I use Tomorrow on all cuts anyway & put most dogs on Chephalexin. I always try to suture muscle together with absorbable sutures & either suture the outside or staple it.
