Hi,
I purchased blu-kote (dauber form) for my chinchilla, who was bitten on his cheek. Before I try applying it, I want to verify that I’m going to do it correctly. Do I apply a little on the wound with a q-tip and then leave it to dry? Or do I leave it there for a little and then wash it off? This is a relatively new chinchilla so I want to make sure he’s comfortable while I apply it too. I’m planning on dabbing it on there while he’s tired, but I’m unsure if he’ll be bothered when it touches the wound.
Thanks!
 
Just leave it. Be CAREFUL where you open it. That stuff stains everything. It will stain your chin for a while, but it will go away with dust baths in time. It shouldn't hurt. Gentian violet is the same stuff they use to treat thrush in a baby's mouth.
 
Alright thanks! I’m more comfortable using it now
