He likes to spit it out...I'll bet it doesn't taste good. SO I have to hold his mouth closed, and he swallows it eventually. I know it's stressful for him, but if he wants to get better, it's what has to happen. I've only been washing his wound with water, and then adding neosporin- is there anything else i should do to it?
That's the best you can do for cleaning his wound. Maybe gently swab it with a cotton swab or cotton ball, but you can't use any cleaners or alcohol or else they'll kill him. they're extremely sensitive and absorb water and other things through the skin.

You may also want to go out and buy some UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE and prepare a bath at a 10 to 1 ratio. So for every 10 ounces of water add 1 ounce of UNFLAVORED PEDIALYETE. it must be unflavored. Soak him in that solution for 20 minutes a day. Also the water for his bath should be de-chlorinated and Luke warm. Be sure its not too deep. Only half his height so he doesn't drown.
