Am i too be worried?
Sabre has something on/around her scales. It's Dry no puss, not tender, not lumpy. doesn't look like a burn.

All husbundry is good. If anything it's too dry. Not a burn as there is nothing to burn on and its not her belly.

No mites, whole viv got cleaned and disenfected and new substrate only a week ago.

Could it be where she has caught herself and pulled a scale back?

Tonights shed and look at this!

there is a small area of brown edge on a scale just a bit down from the main area. this wasn't in previous pics. It may be coloration of Tamodine not sure as i have never used it. as for the main area when you go and look at orignal pics you can see the effected area under the outer scales and that hasn't real changed in size. It does in the first pic look like it may have be snagged and the scales where starting to die. But i am not a vet either so can only give an opinion. As others have said a trip to the vets if really worried.

It's all dry and not red at all.
Sounds good to me thanks all. I'll give this shed a pass and see what happens
mischang Posted - 07/05/2010 : 08:55:03
it does look worst than at the start is it still dry ?? but as a bove if your really worried go to see the vet as they is nothing better than a hands on exam !
Blackecho Posted - 07/05/2010 : 06:51:33
The scales, it doesn't look inflamed or infected to me, but please don't take my word for it. If you have any worries I'd go back to the vets.
Welly Posted - 07/05/2010 : 00:31:44
The scales or infection?
Blackecho Posted - 06/05/2010 : 23:34:19
I'm not a vet but it looks like its growing back to me.
Welly Posted - 06/05/2010 : 22:08:32
Been keeping an eye on this and would really like a 2nd opinion.
Once i got the tamodine i did use it just incase there was an infection. It dried the area up and the scales did come off at the next shed.
It "looks" worse now but it's not spreading and it looks to me like there is new scales growing through.

These pictures do make it look worse as the flash has made it look really fleshly.
Anybody got any ideas what could have caused it? anything else i could do to help it along? How long do scales take to grow back?
It's not causing her any discomofort and she is due a shed







And without flash, making it look normal


Blackecho Posted - 08/04/2010 : 12:32:15
Fingers crossed.
Welly Posted - 08/04/2010 : 12:10:23
Dunno if anyone is interested. But i did buy Tamodine (Thanks BE) It's gone through one shed and she still has it. Looks a lil worse to the eye but it's dried and looks like it will dissapear after another shed or 2.
I think i must have caught it that night.
Welly Posted - 12/03/2010 : 12:08:36
Lovely, although i don't think i need it in this case (just yet) i have ordered some anyways.

She looks fine this morning. It's still there but she is out and about exploring her new setup
Blackecho Posted - 12/03/2010 : 06:33:19
Tamodine is a useful product to keep handy for small wounds too.

sweet :)
Welly Posted - 11/03/2010 : 21:59:20
As a matter of precaution i have stripped, disinfected, fresh aspen, re soaking all furniture in water/chlorine and leaving her be for a few days.

Better safe than sorry i guess
knew if bought extra everything just incase it would come in handy lol)
pfleming Posted - 11/03/2010 : 21:47:06
hey looks like a snag or something, just watch that it doesnt become infected!, should be fine :)
Blackecho Posted - 11/03/2010 : 21:37:32
Keep a close eye on it, but it'll probably just disappear in a couple of sheds.
