I looked through the forums and couldn't find one that fit exactly what I am now concerned about.
I have been giving Pogi his syringe meds since yesterday. I have been very careful not to put too much pressure on his mouth as I pry it open to squirt meds inside his mouth.
I noticed a tear on his lip a few hours after I had given him his meds and after I had given him a mist bath 30 minutes earlier. It was not visible to me prior. Here is a close up of the tear...no blood or any other evidence of trauma other than it looks like it was 'chipped'. He did eat about 4 crickets after I saw it so eating didn't seem to bother it.

He does have a follow up appt next Tuesday for the worms. But wanted to see if any one can tell me what this looks like and if there is something I should be doing for it.
Thank you!
