Is there anything I can do to help Lincoln's back heal? I think Booth got ahold of him and opened some spots on his back.
They're acting up and trying to mate, so I separated him for a couple days from the others, but his back hasn't healed any.
What can I do? They're large in width and length, but not very deep.

Hmm... try putting some gauze over it? Try to just put pressure on it for roughly five minutes if you can keep him entertained that long.

How bad is it? Does he need stitches? Ferrets usually heal very quickly from bite wounds ciao

Well, not sure if it's bite wounds or if he might be doing it himself,
but it's not deep or oozing blood. Image when a ferret scratches you by running across your lap. It's that shallow, but a large area.
It's been 2 days since I saw it and the scabs keep coming off (again, not sure if he is doing it himself or if it's one of the other ferrets)
He has a vet appointment NEXT Saturday, but I'm afraid these might get infected.

Pick up some desitin diaper cream, and put that on. The others won't groom it off because they don't like the taste, and it will seal the wounds til it's washed off.
