Hi. I really cant tell from the picture what that may be. Is there any way that you can take a clearer close up? Someone may be able to recognize what it is and give you some info.

I beleive thiis is wat he talking about

 

[DragonMomSandy]

It looks like a bite from a crickets or possibly a sore from rubbing on a log or other cage furniture, or a sore from where the shed skin was pulled off too soon. Use neosporin on it 2 to 3 times a day. If it doesn't start to clear up, or gets larger and looks like it might have fluid in it, then get him to a vet.

yup thats what im talking about thank you
and she was rubbing alot yesterday so i think its that cause im real paranoid about the crickets
will it go away?

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Treat it with neosporin and keep an eye on it, yes it should go away with no ill affects. However, as I said, if it starts to get larger and looks like it has fluid or puss in it, take your baby to a vet as then it could be a cyst or further infection that would need to be treated with antibiotics

so yesterday i had put neosporin on her after every feeding and i went to put it on this morning before i left and the thing just came right off and stuck the neosporin on my finger !!
thank you for the help she is all well

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Very glad to hear that the bump is gone! keep an eye on it for a couple more days, probably no more need for neosporin. Also watch the chin area when she's shedding, I give her more frequent baths when she starts to shed around her head next time, just to ease the shedding around all the spikes of the beard area.

i usually try to give her about three bathss during days she is shedding
and i now noticed she got droopy eyes

 

[DragonMomSandy]

How old is she? If she's close to a year or older, she may be starting to go into brumation. Is there any discoloration, drainage/crusting or swelling to the eyes? Keep an eye on her, if she develops any of these symptoms, it could be an eye infectionl. Hopefully she's just sleepy! Oh, and something I forgot to mention with baths during shedding, I use a very soft bristled tooth brush to gently help brush away a lot of the shed after they have soaked for a little while. They seem to like it, it's kind of a beardie massage. Works well for one of my girls on her back as the skin there tends to hang on a little longer than I think it should.

 

[pl4life52]

nope no swelling or crusting or anything just droopy i think it might be cause i cut back on her calcium since i was giving her to much and shes not getting enough vitamins
heres a pic

and what brush do u use in specific i wanna get one but i just dont wanna get something to rough
