Poor Dasani! I would leave it be for now and keep an eye on it. It doesn't look infected to me. You could try gently cleaning it with warm water and antiseptic soap, but if it starts to show signs of infection (swelling, warmth to the touch, pus), then I would take her into the vet to get it treated. I hope this helps!

It would be easier for me to give advice if I could see a photo of what you are referring to. I am not exactly sure what you mean by "cage burn". If you could post again with a photo or two we may be able to help you better. Without seeing it, I would say you could probably use something like Neopsorin. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
