I’d continue the betadine and rub a little silvadene on it after the betadine dries. Watch the metacam usage.
If he’s not in pain I don’t think I’d use it, it is hard on their kidneys. Definitely don’t use it for longer than 3 days. I hope you have proper dosage for it as it would be a very, very small amount for a little flyer.
Do you have a vet?
