Answer
Hello Saba,

He really needs antibiotics and veterinary care but I understand that you do not have help nearby.  Can  you get some peroxide by chance?  If so, pour it on the wound and it will help clean it.  I have no idea what you can put in his milk, as I don't see how you would be able to get antibiotics. Try to keep flies away from the open wound if you can.   That's about all you can do under your circumstances.  I wish you the very best.

God Bless,
Becky
