Foot ****oo

[NikkiLovesChinchillas]

Please help , my chin , Arabella , chewed a sharp part onto her wooden house and I didn't notice until today , when there was slight spots of blood on the roof of her house. So I picked her up and looked all around and theres a little cut on her back foot. It doesn't seem to bad. I cleaned it out with water and wiped it clean but I just want to make sure it doesn't get infected or nothing happens. Will she be okay? what can I do?

Just get some Blue Kote which you can usually find at farm/livestock stores and put that on it. I use a cheap artist paintbrush to apply when I use it.Careful because it will practically permanently stain anything.Other than that just keep an eye on it.

Keep the cage extra clean. I came home once to bloody footprints all over my guy's wood ledges, etc. and a small pool of blood. He healed quickly on his own. He also seemed to like sitting on my lap with a luke warm washcloth that he just stood on. It seemed to clean up his foot and also comfort him. But not all chins are as cuddly and needy when they are hurt or not feeling well.
