I have a 2YO M bearded dragon, he sees the vet regularly, and is in an 88 gallon tank. He recently got blood work done but is 6 weeks past the 1 week follow up date and the vet has been ghosting me about it.
ABOUT:
2 days ago I came home and noticed one of his scales on his lower mandible (the one below the large one at the peak of his snout - you know what I mean?) had turned grey and had blood. It looked like he was beginning to moult/shed but had managed to rip not only the scale coming in but the scale underneath it. I brushed it off as him falling and perhaps hurting himself and figured I keep an eye on it.
Today the very same thing happened while I was at an appointment. The scale next to the prior injured one is now matching with a fresh prick of blood.
I tried to clean it with some water but have no betadine or safe antiseptic for an open wound. Im unsure of what exactly happened but I doubt this hasn’t happened with someone else before and am unsure how to proceed. Does anyone have any ideas?
