Another thing is wrong with Doby, please help.

Doby seems to be itching alot, but not his ear that we have been treating for an infection. I played with him on my bed and suddently saw a dark line on his cheek. I picked him up and saw blood. I panicked and quickly took him and carefully disinfected the wound with saline. It dosen't seem to be that deep. We think that It ***may*** be a fight with his brothers since we heard them squeak, but not mote than usual. There we're drops of blood on a big tunnel where they like to play. I will separate them in 2 separate cages (Jimily and Doby together) to let Doby heal.

Any suggestion on how to to make doby itch his wound?? Any other advices?? Thank you all If I cannot respond to everybody!

Doby has an external ear infection. It is treated with ear drops for 14 days. I'm glad I didn't go there for nothing!

They took a sample from his ear and tested it. Doby has such small ears that they couldn't find a small enough one! But it did work out... He was so well behaved, he didn't move while the vet was examining him!

I love him so much. He even licked the vet! What a cutie.
