Beardie bite

[pia2some]

I'm feeding my 5 month old beardie baby food for a week. She developed an infection on her lips and the vet gave us medicine to put on her lips and then said to not give crickets for a week and to use baby food. The idea being to allow time for her lips to heal and not eat anything 'hard'. The only way she'll eat the baby food is off my finger. Today I got distracted and wasn't paying attention for a moment and Scully bit my pinky finger. Most of the bite got my nail but part was on the skin. It did break the skin and bleed.

I washed it well with antibacterial soap and poured a bit of Betadine over it (one of the things we're using on her lips!). Is that all I need to do?

Try cleaning it every 30 minutes or so for the first day, if it gets worse tomorrow or noticeably different by tonight I'd go get it checked out.

Thanks. I will keep it clean. Just didn't know if it was anything in particular to be concerned about.
