injured

My pair of uros have been fighting I have seperated them and tried over and over to put them back together with out any luck. The male has spots on his tail where the female has bitten him. I wanted to know if it was ok to put neosporine on the areas that are injured.

My vet told me that "Ploysporin" works better on reptiles than neosporin.
I don't know too much yet about Uro's though.

I don't know the difference between Neosporin and Polysporin, but Neosporin is fine to use. Just keep him on towel (cloth or paper) until the injuries heal - otherwise the substrate will stick to the wounds. I hope you have separate housing for them now. It doesn't sound like they will ever be able to live together.
