I recently adopted my new baby girl from a family who no longer had the time for her, I noticed she has a scab on her lip that seems to have swollen up a tad and has apparently been there for a while... I'm worried it's infected or something... if anyone knows what this is or what I should do please reply asap!
Hi there, you can get some betadine from Walmart or a drug store, dilute it with water to the color of dark iced tea. Dab it on with a Q-tip but be sure she doesn't get a hold of the Q-tip, beardies think everything is food. After it dries put some raw, unpasteurized honey on it. It's a fantastic antimicrobial, great for healing wounds. Make sure there are no loose feeder insects hiding in the tank If it still gets larger or looks worse find an experienced reptile vet, but I think this should do the trick.
