    Peroxide?

    Hey everybody, I made a horrible mistake and accidentally put two males in the same tank during feeding time, which resulted in rather bad fight between the two.... My tremper snow made a little gash(nothing too bad) on my Enigma's head. Hes seems fine. I immediately separated them and made sure he was okay. Hes calmed down and is eating again just fine. I was just wondering if it would be safe to put some peroxide on a q tip and clean the wound? Like I said, it's not bad. I just want to make sure he doesn't get an infection or anything. Thanks in advance!

    Peroxide?

    You can use peroxide to clean it out and put some neosporin.

    Using Betadine is better than peroxide. It doesn't sting or kill healing tissue like peroxide.

    Right there^^^.
    Peroxide actually oxidizes tissue, even healthy tissue so, is best reserved for only a few situations.
