The Microcyn is ok.
I would suggest that you give him a round of antibiotics. Do you have any on hand?

At minimum, I would go to TSC and get a bottle of Procaine Penicillin G. You will need a the smallest syringe you can find and a 20 gauge needle. He's small so I would dose him at .10ml per pound of weight injected into the breast muscle alternating sides once a day for 4-5 days.

If you can quickly get Amoxicillin (see if you can order those from your TSC - fish antibiotics) that would be better than giving injections.

Did you leave one end open so the wound can drain?

@Eggcessive may have some better suggestions for you too.

Go to "miles falconry supplies" online. You can have bird antibiotics of many kinds overnights to you. They had amoxicillin and doxycycline and a bunch of others when I last ordered. And the man who owns it is amazing and knowledgable.

He's/she's so cute. And standing so tall on the one leg. Amazing! Keep up the good work! Will keep following this thread.
