Advice needed PLEASE

Please can I have some advice. Tonight I have trimmed Tazmays fur around her bottom - I do this every couple of days because she is long haired and I worry about flystrike. Anyway, we were doing our normal routine tonight when a motorbike has flown down the road, made her jump, and caused me to nick her skin :cry:. I feel so awful - there is no blood, just abit of a nick :cry:. Is there anything I can put on the nick like antiseptic/Savlon? Or should I leave it alone? She is fine in herself - when I put her on the floor she just carried on eating her cucumber, but I am very worried. Advice would be gratefully received - thank you :wave:
 
I'm not sure what's available in your local pet shop - mine has some sort of skin healing cream, or at least something to prevent things getting infected, which I've no idea how well it works as I've never bought it.

I would keep a very close eye on it though, it's the height of flystrike season and flies look for wounds and nicks on the skin :? I'd be extra vigilant about keeping her litter trays/etc super clean and putting up extra fly paper etc to try and keep her as safe as possible from those anoying little buzzy :censored:
