My leachie has a cut!

So I just noticed my leachie has what looks like some sort of cut on its underside by its front left leg! Anyone have any advice? I am obviously going to keep an eye on it until it heals, but can I or should I clean it with anything?

Hi there, I've attached a link that gives an idea of some things you could look for and how to handle the situation.

Looks like a small scratch though.

Another note, I've heard of people using super glue as a way to protect the wound from external pathogens. I've never tried it but I'm sure there's someone out there with some hands on superglue wound care experience. I highly suggest if you take this route, STERILIZE the wound. Wouldn't want to trap bacteria in there and allow it to grow. Also have to make sure it's dry before letting the little leachie do it's thing, other wise it could glue to itself.

So she just started to shed tonight. I'm wondering if the cut was not really a cut and something related to her shedding. I'm not sure, but I'm going to investigate it tomorrow!
