Hi guys, I noticed today that one of my pullets has a pretty nasty looking gash on her toe. I assume she probably got it stuck in hardware cloth while trying to scale the fence (she is a leghorn and it was her first day in the pen - she wanted to roost at the top of the pen), but I am not exactly sure. It looks as if some of the scales have been ripped back like a skin flap on a cut. I've sprayed it with vetericyn and plan to continue to do so throughout the day until it is healed up.

My question is, what else should I be doing for the wound? Should I apply Neosporin? Should I wrap it with gauze and vet wrap? This is my first foot injury with my chickens.

Thank you!
