I would suggest bringing him to your veterinarian or a veterinarian that specializes in exotics/pocket pets as soon as possible. Even if he seems to be stabilizing and recovering, he will be susceptible to infection in his scratches. Gerbils that are stressed and injured can be fragile health wise, and a veterinarian exam is needed. I hope this helps and that he pulls through!
