My poor little guy! I was sitting on the floor in the boy's playpen while I had them out this afternoon and when I stood up little Augustus got scared and tried to run under the cage stand but he missed and slammed nose-first into the stand. He managed to split his nose and lip open :( . It didn't bleed much and I put some peroxide on it when it first happened is there anything else I need to do? Poor little dude I feel soo bad for him.

Don't use hydrogen peroxide. It kills healthy tissue as well as germs.

Just make sure it stays clean. If it starts to weep, swell up, or smell bad then he most likely will need antibiotics.
