I have yet to find anything to put on a cut or scratch that my ferrets don't rub or lick right back off. I'd leave it alone to heal unless it looks to be getting infected. If it starts oozing anything, swelling, or getting white around the edges, those are signs of infection. I would take him to the vet if that happens to see what you can do about it. Id' worry about putting ointments on the nose area as he's likely to lick it off.

Be careful when you introduce the 2 ferrets to each other and go slow. When we did that, our first ferret actually got an ulcer from the stress of it.
