Will a wound on a dog smell worst after its been cleaned with water?

No, but you should clean it with an anti-bacterial soap and water, and treat it with an antiseptic, same as you would a wound on yourself. If you are noticing a bad odor, it is likely the wound has become infected. I recommend taking it into a vet, or at least calling a vet and describing your dog's wound and smell. This is free if you are not brimming with finances at the moment.

How long can a wound be left open for?
If a laceration (cut) is at high risk for infection, due to foreign matter in the wound, or exposure to lake water, river water, sea water, soil, animals, or fishy things, it should be cleaned as soon as possible, either with saline solution, wound wash, or mild soap and water. Even clean drinking water will do very nicely. Cleaning the wound well and promptly is your best defence against infection, but no need to pour any kind of disinfectant into the wound. This can irritate the tissue and slow the healing process. If available, dab a little Neosporin type ointment on the outside of the wound only after the bleeding has stopped for 30 minutes.If the wound requires stitches, and is at high risk for infection, then 6 hours is the longest you can wait.If the injury is clean and debris - free, then 8 hours is usually the limit.
