Abrasion that's turned into a cut

[TheBeard9789]

My Amber is hard at work nesting again and I'm hoping she drops her eggs sooner than later. She had a abrasion that was fine from her last clutch of eggs and all the digging. The abrasion is on her palm and now it's turned into a cut that I'm concerned about I don't want it to become infected.

Should I make a vet visit? (Had one 2 days ago)

Note: I gently lifted her fingers up for the pic not bent it back

Put some raw filtered honey on it-- NO crickets in the tank if your feeding them

Can't say I have ever heard of that but I'll pick up some I also heard people say to use warm soapy water but not sure that was a bearded dragon or not.

I am hand feeding her crickets (worms and roach's are on the way) she had 1 cricket today and about 7-8 yesterday.

@KarrieRee having a hard time finding raw filtered honey I see a ton of raw unfiltered but that's about it

You need unpasteurized or Manuka. You can find it at whole foods or sprouts ect.

Unfiltered is fine-

So raw unfiltered honey on a q-tip and a dab on her cut? I just wanna make sure you know she is burrowing and digging so sand/soil may get stuck to it.

I can do it tonight and as I put her to bed she won't be burrowing and I can let the honey sit for the night and she can't aggravate the cut

@xp29 good?

Yup .
...... here they are darned proud of that stuff, it should be called liquid gold for the price

Hello,

Yes, the manuka honey is expensive, but, it does last quite a long time though. It doesn't take
much to apply on the area, so it will be money well spent.
How is her hand doing, any better?

Let us know how she is doing.

I haven't messed with her yet she is starting to eat a ton after having her 28 eggs but I'm gonna examine it tomorrow when I feed both my beardies.

She seems to be tender and doesn't like me playing with her abrasion/cut so I figured I would give her 24-48 hrs post clutch before I checked it again
