It isn’t ‘pus’, more like yellow crusty stuff. It is discolored, not swollen though.AHBD":2i5u6xgx said:Can you post a pic of him straight on ? Is that area swollen or just discolored and is there actual pus ?

It does look relatively raw to me, as well. Definitely try some raw, unpasteurized honey for
that area to help in case there is infection. It does look crusty in that area though & it might
be a little sore also.
Has he had much of an appetite?
I agree, it might be a good idea to consider a vet visit especially if it doesn't appear to clear up.

He’s been in sleepy mode about a week, and this happened 3 days ago. He dose not seem to be having trouble breathing, he occasionally has his mouth slightly open, but I don’t know if that’s from trouble breathing or because he’s basking. I will definitely try the honey! As for his health, when we adopted him, he has several burns on the bottom of his feet, witch are now wounds that have scabbed over, and re open when he sheds. He is missing the tip of his tail, and also has dental issues, and a hard time shedding. All of this was happening before we got him, but the poor guy was being listed for free on Craigs List, so we wanted to give him a good home(because of this we don’t know his previous history or age, so that could be a large contributing factor to his health and this.) Thank you so much!AHBD":e3f0pgf1 said:How long has he been in sleepy mode and does he seem to have trouble breathing ? You can apply raw unpasteurized honey to that area, dilute it with 2 thirds lukewarm water. It looks like he rubbed it raw slightly. Raw honey is a great antimicrobial and works well on all injuries. If he continues to decline you might want to see a vet. BTW, what types of health problems has he had ?
Much, much better. We took him to the vet yesterday, and they gave him some anti inflammatory meds. They agreed that it looked like he just rubbed it raw. Thank you all for the help, it is much, much appreciated!Drache613":2ps1f8cn said:Hello,
Poor guy, he had a rough start in life! It is difficult when you don't have the full picture of
his care before you got him.
It sounds like he is doing better & has good spirit!
How is he doing today?
Tracie
It is! They gave him Meloxicam/n(not sure which, they name is written over.) He is doing much better though, Thank you!Drache613":2ouf324a said:Hello,
That is great news to hear then! Is his little snout healing up I hope?
Which anti-inflammatory meds did he give you for him?
They are terrible about rubbing their snouts like that!
Keep us posted on him.
