This morning I noticed a very small cut on Dexter's foot, under 2mm long, right on the joint. It looks like a tiny split in the skin. It appears dry and healing, not wet or bloody looking, no pus, no swelling, he's using the foot and leg normally and basically paying it no mind (stepping up and playing as normal).
I don't know exactly when he injured it, but he's handled enough and I'm pretty observant of his condition. I suspect it happened sometime late yesterday or overnight.
Outside of doing an extra thorough cage cleaning to prevent infection, is there anything else I need to do? Would you bring your bird to the vet for a minor injury such as this one?
