Can I make the neosporin or should I buy it? Also if I need to make it what do I use?

I’ve never made neosporin... probably best to buy it, but like @21hens-incharge said, it might be best to leave it. I would only apply the neosporin if it gets infected.

I don’t think you’re supposed to inject it.

Ok, how do I know if it gets infected

You might see puss or a yellow-green ish color on his scabs, like a person.

Don't touch it! Just leave it alone and see if it will heal on its own.

Alright, i'll keep an eye on it
