What medication would help my rat's wound?

My rat, Coco has a small wound (I think from scratching herself), and I was reading about how you should apply medicine to it. What I read didn’t exactly say what medicine to use, but what do you think would be the best?

You’re very welcome, if you ever have any more rat questions I’m here and pretty much been through it all so feel free to ask.

Answer #2

I raise rats and have had a couple of wounds to deal with - You’d only have to apply medication if the wound was deep which by the sounds of it, isn’t at all. Just get a damp cloth and whip it off just to make sure it’s clean. Rats are amazing healers so it will be gone in no time.

If there ever is a blood wound just whip it town and apply a little bit of polysporn.

Answer #3

M’kay :) I just wiped it off a bit, and thanks very much!

Answer #4

Also, the wound isn’t deep or anything, and theres no blood. It’s just tiny, and CoCo doesn’t seem effected by it at all.
