possibly try some water from the kettle allowed to cool so not too hot just to bathe it and get rid of any germs with a small amount of salt. That is was my vet suggested to help tiger when he had a bite!

Should heal perfectly fine on its own. I've had a few such cuts here, right on that bit of the nose. It's gone within a day or two!

Firstly I put my glasses on, then I increased the picture size, then I looked through a magnifying glass, finally I think I saw an extremely small bite mark..........!!!
Leave well alone, any "treatment" you give him will be for your benefit!

Firstly, bless him - what a cutie!
I think it will be fine to heal on it's own - keep an eye on it though - you don't want it to become dirty or infected! x
