You want the open wound to heal and to do so it must form a scab. Keeping it moist with neosporin will help with fighting infection but without a scab on it the wound stays open and leaves a greater chance of an infection to set it. The cresteds walk through the stools and such and the cage is never totally clean and that breeds bacteria.



You never want a wound to stay open so its exposed to infection.



A vet that told you to keep neosporin on it and not to let it scab over is severely mistaken.
