Injured Himself

[sdunfee77]

I'm not sure how bad this is but I'd like to know if you think this will grow back or heal right? I have (pain med free) neosporin on it now and have soaked him in water/bedatine. Will keep doing that daily and i hope it heals!

So Spike likes to climb up on our kitchen nook and climb the window screen. It was fine when he was little but now he's a MOOSE, he likes to go as high as he can and squeeze himeself between the screen and the window. What I'm thinking he did was scrape his back when coming back down because he won't accept that he is too big to do it anymore.

Here are some pics, its deeper than it looks in the picture.

Him sleeping on my side table, he refuses to sleep in his viv now. He's like a puppy more than a BD I love him to death. He's 1.5yrs old now, I've had him since just a few weeks old.

New hammock I made for him, he totally outgrew the store bought one

Wow, he is a big boy, getting ready to shed quite a bit too. Using the Betadine baths and Neosporin is a good idea, just keep doing what you're doing and watch for signs of infection.

Thanks! I'll keep on it, are there any other meds out there that would help? or just those two for the BD's.

Neosporin is a really good triple antibiotic cream and Betadine is the best and safest to clean with before applying it. Terramycin is also a good antibiotic cream. Tracie sells it here and it's the 1st product on her list. http://bug-de-lite.com/Products%20Page.html
