It has been a long time since I have ever written on here. Life has been rough and hard. My sweet boy recently had coccidia and whipworms through a routine fecal exam and an exotic exam back in August. He was prescribed Albon and Panacur. I have added BeneBac Probiotics and he eats slurries. He will eat bugs without issues.
On one of his medication doses, he bit down on a syringe and caused an injury to his mouth. I shared the photo with a good friend and she said it was granulation tissue and to use chlorhexidine. So I went ahead, contacted his vet and he gave me Novalsan 1%. I showed the vet tech the photo of his granulation tissue. She looked at it. I was hoping that she would show the photo to the vet, but she didn't. But regardless, I treated his mouth twice a day. It was getting better, but he keeps biting it. I ran out of Novalsan and had the chlorhexidine 2% from bearded dragon . co come in and I resumed cleaning his mouth and his teeth.
He has been eating slurries and has not given me a good poop since he won't eat solid greens yet. I have tried the tough love method of withholding bugs, but it's not working.
His activity level's still the same.
Here's what he's getting in a slurry.
Dandelion Green Leaf Powder
Spirulina
Babyfood Butternut squash
Springwater
His UVB is brand new.
His feeders are
Dubia roaches
Hornworms- twice every other day for hydration- he has been having some pooing and hydration issues involving two slight prolapses (which I informed the vet about his granulation tissue and his movements.) The slight prolapses went back in on their own and was told to keep an eye on him. His urates are now normal. Not hard or chalky.
I've ordered silkworms and silkworm chow. Should be tomorrow when they arrive.
I cannot upload a photo of his mouth. I don't know how.
I have heard that raw honey would help his granulation tissue and if you ever dealt with granulation tissue, can you please tell me how long it will take to heal fully? And how many times can I use honey to his wound or should I stick with Chlorhexidine? I just want him back to his usual self and eating habits.
