My son 2.5 y old bumped and lacerated his toe while playing at the petting zoo. im worried that faecal matter may have entered the wound?

Wash it/watch it: This is something you just need to clean out well and watch for any increasing redness, drainage or swelling. Fecal germs from the environment are no worse than the others already there. If the kid's tetanus shots are up to date and no stitches are needed to stop bleeding this can be watched at home.
