Please help!

I just bought two female sugar gliders that are approximately 6 mths old. In the original owners home, they were severally neglected. They were hardly ever handled and their cage was extremely unkept. Probably NEVER CHANGED. Heartbreaking!

I have had them less than a week. Our family has been bonding with them. Tonight we had a break through!! The smaller female was playful n loving. But to my dismay, we noticed a patch of hair the size of a finger tip missing from the larger one. She stayed on the other side of the cage hiding. Shaking. When I put the small one back in the cage, she immediately attacked the bigger one. Gnawing on the injured girls back. She was screaming in pain. I tried to pull them apart. She was so aggressive! I finally banged on the caged and the set separated to different sides. Her back is raw.

I have since separated them. Why now? What can I do to help this baby heal faster (ointment) ?
