But I have a question for you, can your cham still climb?

If the wound where the nail was pulled out is healed over the neosporin won't do much. Toes can stay swollen for a long time, but your cham may need a systemic antibiotic to deal with the internal infection that is still going on. The vet may have to drain the toes...not sure. Also, don't automatically go for using Baytril. There are less toxic antibiotics that may work for this such as amoxicillin. If toes turn black they may need to be removed.
