Cut arm

Not open for further replies.
My beardie has an ornament, he loves it but he’s growing really fast. The ornament had little holes in it and when he was really little he could run in and out of the holes, but this morning he got stuck in one of them. He wasn’t breathing and his arms were trapped to his sides so we had to just force him out slowly. He’s walking and eating completely fine, although he has a scrape on the skin of his left arm. It’s not big and it didn’t bleed or anything, but I really don’t want it to get infected and was wondering if anyone has any advice!

Hi there, if there's no blood and no open wound then it should be fine. :) Post a few pics if you'd like and apply a bit of neosporin if it looks irritated. Here's how to post pics :

Thanks for your help! I took him to the vet yesterday and they were worried about a fracture/broken bone, but he’s okay apart from a little swelling. He’s been given some anti inflammatory (which he loved since it was honey flavoured!) and they’ve said that he should be fine by his next shed:) thank you again!!

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
