My cat busted the screen top to the tank and got my baby beardie out! Now he's got this gash in his side and I'm so worried. I know he needs a vet but I can't get him to one at this very moment.
It looks like maybe it's JUST the scale layer that has come off and there may be a layer of thin membrane protecting the organs inside and keeping them in. He's in a lot of pain I can tell, I just don't know what to do for him. I gave him a betadine bath and cleaned him up (he was a little furry). He's alert and looks around occasionally but for the most part seems to want to sleep the pain away.
What else can I do for him until I can get him to the vet?
After I finished typing this he started crawling around like he was fine. He's black bearding and very dark stomach but I think he's just scared and hurt.
