My 1 1/2 year old male Beardie, Stryker, bit me for the first time tonight! I was trying to feed him some applesauce with olive oil by dropper because he hasn't gone to the bathroom for a week and a half, which also was the last time he got a bath, and he bit right thru my fingernail and back of my finger! :evil:
First of all what do I have to worry about getting bitten, infection wise? Besides washing it and bandaging, do I need antibiotics? I mean this was a very bad bite!Second, if anyone else has experienced this, will your nail grow back together? It's near the base? :?:
As far as Stryker, he is alert and everything, but doesn't eat much in the way of crickets and supers. Never has. But now he is not going to the bathroom every few days and only seems to poop in water, which we have been remiss about soaking him often lately. I know this sounds like I've answered my own question, but even when we bathe him 3X a week, he still doesn't go, but when he does, they are normal.
Of course, I'm mainly worried about Impaction. That's why the applesauce, etc.
I need some advice...I'm so surprised he bit me! :shock:
