There are two ointments, but I can only find one at the moment. It's called Mupirocin. The ingredients aren't listed on the tube, but what I can find online says:
Each gram of Mupirocin ointment USP, 2% contains 20 mg Mupirocin in a bland water miscible ointment base (polyethylene glycol ointment, N.F.) consisting of polyethylene glycol 400 and polyethylene glycol 3350.
Mupirocin is a naturally occurring antibiotic. The chemical name is (E) - (2S,3R,4R,5S) - 5 - [(2S,3S,4S,5S) - 2,3 - Epoxy - 5 - hydroxy - 4 - methylhexyl]tetrahydro - 3,4 - dihydroxy - ß - methyl - 2H - pyran - 2 - crotonic acid,ester with 9-hydroxynonanoic acid.
Now that you've explained, I'm pretty sure it's retained shed. He has some spikes that still haven't shed. I get them wet, but I can't put too much water near his face. He just got rid of a respiratory infection a few months ago, so I get nervous. Is there any way to help him shed them?
He seems to be doing completely fine. I can touch near the broken/dead spike and it doesn't bother him.
Thanks everybody for the help :lol:
