Ok so I'll try to be as detailed as possible on what happened and everything. Noodle climbed on her branch to the very top and I guess found out the branch can't support her whole body because she fell over hit her head on the other branch below and fell in between the branch and the glass of the tank. This happened on Monday.
She was all pancaked out, her beard is charcoal black and she is slumped over, and so is her head. She isn't raising her head at all and it she will close one eye and take forever to open it back up.Anyway this is a picture of a gash that she has above her eye. I found it yesterday and was told I could clean it with diluted Betadine until it looked like weak tea. So I have been doing that since yesterday.
And this is the gash as of today
As of today I just gave her a salad of red peppers and cilantro. I would of used mustard greens but they are sort of withered and not looking so hot so I didn't want to make her sick from bad greens Anyway I am excited because I put 2 supers on her salad and tried to hide them in her salad to make it enticing well she found both of them and ate them. I'm not sure about her greens I don't want to freak her out by me watching/walking in on her but at least she ate some supers that's a start. Well thats all she has eaten to day is those 2 supers and I'm worried because she hasn't had any calcium since either Sunday or Monday. Ok and as of now she has calmed down a little and I went to clean her gash with more Betadine when I noticed her head was peeling on her left side of her face above her eye. Well I didn't force it off it just peeled off on its own and this is what was underneath.
And this is after I cleaned it with some Betadine with diluted water
The wound is still kind of bleeding I have been trying to get it to stop its not as bad as in the picture its more of just a small dot of blood. ANyway here are her tank specs to so you know
