Hey guys, I am posting this because Cookie has injured himself quite badly. I’ll include a image but it is not for faint hearted. We have a glass aquarium for fish that we turned into a spare home for him. The glass fell on him.





Hey guys, Cookie has just had some glass fall on him and it severely hurt him. I am really upset now as it doesn’t look too good. I can’t take a picture because we already put a bandage on to keep it clean. Right now he is in is travel case which isn’t very big but it can help him stay safe. The scales have came off. I am really worried. It isn’t bleeding and he can move freely. It is an open wound. It is about the size of a corn kernel. Should we leave it?

Can you post a picture of it?
The most important thing is to keep it clean so it doesn't get infected. Raw unpasteurized honey is a good choice to use for this. It also helps speed up the wound healing process.

Hello,

I agree, do use raw, unpasteurized honey on it only, since it is an open wound. I think you will
be very surprised as to how well it works. Be sure that there is no dirt, debris or any other loose
type of substrate or insects, etc in his surroundings to get into the wound & cause infection.
You mentioned that he is up & moving around, so, nothing "appears" to be broken then?

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
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.
