What cream can I use?

Tabi managed to get her head stuck whilst she was in the garden the other day (offending item now removed) and she has a superficial graze round her neck. In herself she is absoloutely fine and the cut seems to be healing well. I just wondered whether there is a cream I can use to help with the healing process. So far I've just been bathing it and leaving it. Is that enough?

Thanks
 
If it's healing well then personally, I'd leave it alone. Just continue to bathe in salt water if it needs it but nature seems to be doing it's thing just fine! What did she get stuck in?
 
Wel I have 2 theories, one being that she got her head stuck in a bucket that the bottom had come out of or the other and more probable is that whilst out free ranging they had dug a large hole by the side of their enclosure. Where they had dug they had exposed the sharp edge of a slab and the mesh that is dug into the ground. I think she more than likely managed to get herself stuck in the hole which had lots of sharp edges when I looked and filled it in.:cry: Sadly I was at work and others in the household in charge of them! :evil:
 
Awww - poor thing. Still, no real harm done and at least she's on the mend. They do manage to get themselves into some real scrapes sometimes.
