Hi
I accedently pulled skin of my bearded dragon. He is know bleeding where i pulled a little bit. Plz help me. Should he be okay?
VERY NAUGHTY and NOT GOOD.
Daily luke warm baths in dilute Betadiene (add dropwise until the water takes on the colour of cold tea).
I'd do this in a tub on the kitchen or bathroom floor so any spillage can easily be wiped up without leaving a stain, and the dragon can safely crawl out.
Water about 30-33 degC.
Water no deeper than side-fringe depth.
Don't let him drink the solution.
Bath for 10 - 15 mins daily to help stave off any infection, the betadiene solution will help remove the biofilm.
What I've do with my rescued injured lizards is I've torn off a shred of paper towel (like found in all kitchens) and I soak this in the solution, and gently draw it across the open injury, is OK to leave it on the injury to soak in too while in the
bath.
The
bathing will also help loosen up the remain shed , let the dragon get it off.
