    The one plant that she likes to hide in does have a few rough edges. I'm thinking this is how she got scratched. I am going to try to smooth them out.
    I will continue to sparingly apply the Triple Antibiotic (Generic Neosporin) once day until the bumps and scratches heal.
    Be careful with the Generic brands. Some don't always contain the same ingredients.

    I compared them and they both have the same active ingredients. The only difference is the generic contains "light mineral oil, white petrolatum" in inactive ingredients and Neo contains "Cocoa Butter, cottonseed oil, and Olive Oil" Is that bad? Should I return it and get the real Neo? I thought the less inactive ingrediants would be better.

    Well the Cocoa Butter, Cottonseed Oil, and Olive Oil are non petroleum based and are natural. It would be best to use the Name brand here. I don't believe the one small application probably won't do any harm, but I always practice better safe than sorry when it comes to treatments.
