Newt with cut arm

[Wyrd]

My spot tailed newt has a cut on his arm, I've only had one injury with him before and it healed ok without intervention, but he is being very subdued (which isn't like him) and the wound is bleeding a little.
I've bought him out of the tank and he is sitting next to me in a box with some water.
I tried some salt and water on the wound but I'm not very good with that so I used some very weak hibiscrub (the stuff vets use, I use it on my horses and dogs).

Is there anything else I should do for him? Anything I should watch out for?

I've just walked past my tank and noticed my paddletail was in the same side (one tank split in half) so there has obviously been some aggression between them.

I sencerily have no idea what a spot tailed newt is...please indicate the species.

I don´t know what kind of division you are using but if the newts can go from one side to another, then you really need to change it. Pachytriton are agressive territorial newts, if they encounter any other newts in the territory....then this happens.

If the wound is fresh and shows no signs of infection i would just let it heal by itself. If infection becomes apparent, then the salt baths are the usual method.
Keeping the animal cool and not stressed will help a lot.

The tank is split in half with a full length divider, the paddletail has not got through into the other side for 2 years, so I have no idea how she got through.

Newt is a spot tailed warty newt (Paramesotriton caudopunctatus?)
