I have a pet pig that cut her chin on some fencing, I have been putting antiseptic on it for the past two days...the second photo has Red-Kote antiseptic on making it look worse. It doesn't seem to bother her when I put pressure on it...

Hello. The cut could use some stitches, but as long as you keep it clean & treated, it should heal just fine. I would clean the wound with a good skin antiseptic like Hibiclens ( available at all pharmacies ) & clean at least twice a day. Then apply your spray. It will heal & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
