How should I treat this injury?

Hello, So about 10 minutes ago, I took out my male SHTCT and female Normal so they can start getting used to each other, and immediately after the male walked by, my dog started sniffing them and the female bit the males leg and the male ran off. It looked like it pretty violent bite, and the Shtct has a visible injury from it. I'm hoping its nothing to serious and I can just purchase the the supplies I need to care for it.

Here are some pics, It looks like she got just the skin, no damage to the muscles that I can see.

Keep the gecko by itself on a non-particle substrate and keep an eye on the wound to make sure it's not getting infected (if it does, you may need to bring it to a vet). It doesn't look too bad and will probably heal up pretty quickly.

Agreed. Also, geckos don't need to go on meet and greets. They will often fight if not ovulating, and best kept separate until then (if you plan on breeding).
