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!!

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
