Yeah he hasn’t had a bath since his leg came away as he had an open wound (which is now nice and dry) but he was having daily baths previously due to the stuck shed he came with, which resulted in the abscess. I'm continuing with the honey daily but a section by his inner elbow looks to be...

Hi Tracie He’s doing great, he comes out daily for “physio” and his honey applied, he’s “hunting” for his bugs while he’s in his playpen (I don’t feed him in his vivarium as I feel like it’ll build his leg muscles back up if he has a larger space to catch his bugs) and his reward for being a...

Done and applied, he wasn’t impressed as his leg is a little crusty at the moment but I’m sure the honey will ease the tightness a little. Do I apply it once a day or a couple of times a day and is he ok to bask with it on his leg? Sorry for all the questions ? Thanks again

Sorry for the late reply! Yes I’m from England so we have weird names for things ? The manuka honey came today (thanks Amazon prime lol) I’ll post a picture! Do I just mix a little with water and use a q-tip to pat it on? Thanks for the help https://ibb.co/Kq6F8YH

I know! I actually thought he’d be off his food for a few days but he’s definitely still got his appetite! I’ve ordered some manuka honey (think that’s the same as raw) and I’ve also ordered some f10 barrier cream, I wasn’t sure which to use as I didn’t want him getting in a sticky mess with...

Hey everyone, just realised I didn’t update on Ludo’s vet visit yesterday! Ok, so the layers of stuck shed had constricted around his leg and the lump was intact an abscess that had formed. The last 2 weeks of antibiotics, baths, sprays etc have all managed to fix the abscess but unfortunately...

Ohh phew!! I'm tempted to bring his appointment forward as I don't want to wait til Wednesday. It's clearly getting worse even with his antibiotics (even though he's using it more) he's gone quite lethargic and just wants to sleep. I really don't know what to do for him, he looks utterly...

So I've just given Ludo his bath and I have a horrible feeling his leg is actually yellow fungus ? Some of his stuck shed came away but underneath it looks like leather. It's so hard and black. I've also noticed some yellow scales on his back leg. I'll post some pics, please tell me what you...

oh don't worry, it's like groundhog day isn't it lol We haven't been able to mix since the first lockdown in March but apparently covid goes into hiding over Christmas as we get to spend 5 days mixing with upto 3 other households! Yes he's eating like a champ! Doesn't turn down anything! He's...

Hi thanks for checking in! He's no different, the vets appointment isn't until the 2nd (weds) and I haven't been able to get his x-rays as they've been closed over the weekend (emergency only due to us still being in national lockdown.... I'm from the UK) He's still eating but doesn't really...

Hi Tracie, thanks for the reply I’m going to try and get the xrays emailed to me if possible so if I do I’ll definitely post them on here straight away. Money isn’t an issue so he’ll definitely be having his biopsy and bloodwork done on Wednesday if there’s no significant improvement. There...

Thanks for the replies! I’ve named him Ludo (after a character from the film labyrinth, not after the board game lol) If he’s no better on the 2nd December when he goes for his follow up visit then he’ll have to have bloodwork and a biopsy. The vet did say there was swelling on his left elbow...

Ok newbie here and I’ll warn you now, it’s likely to be a long post! ? So I rehomed this beautiful boy 2 weeks ago with the understanding he had stuck shed on his leg which would likely rectify itself on his next shed. When he arrived his leg was more swollen than expected and he was unable to...
