She lives in a group of four, and is the youngest and smallest. I picked her up about three days ago, and she had a rather bad wound. I think my meanie pig Cream was after her again. Is there something I can put on it? I've been down with the flu for a few days and don't want to get near them, but my mom has been taking care of them for me.

You could try cleaning any gunk off of it with a warm wet rag and put a little neosporin on it. Just keep an eye so it doenst get infected.

I agree with Hansel. Just be sure to wipe off any excess neosporin so she doesn't ingest any.

Neosporin can be dangerous if ingested. I wouldn't use it but get some chlorhexadine and wash the wound out 2-3 times per day.

Thanks. I didn't use neosporin because I thought it was dangerous for her to eat. I'm on Winter Holiday now, so the 2-3 time a day washing shouldn't be hard to do.

Aww. I'm sorry about that. If I were you I'd just clean it off with a wet, warm (STERILE) dish rag or paper towel, maybe with a little bit of alcohol, unless it is in a place she can get to like her foot or her rump.
