Okay, so chris took baby Fury to the vet yesterday and she said they aren't real sure if its a uri or his sinuses/shed, but did give an antibiotic and wants us to irrigate and suck out his nose a few times a day. He said they pulled a bunch of stuff and some shed from one side and that it's basically equivalent to a runny nose. She said she just pushed along his nose, like she was pushing it out, but now there is a mark on his face from it, like a bruise. Like, ive noticed, when we give the others oral meds, and were having to wiggle the syringe in from the corners of their mouths, after doing that a few times, the corner of their mouths will become dark for a few minutes, but it goes away. And this spot on his face definitely hurts a bit because I gently pushed on it and he kinda jerked away. It's still a dark brown/black today, but no swelling or anything. I guess she just pushed a little too hard on him. He's still struggling to breathe through his nose, but the shed should be getting close, it's been over a week, I think. I feel so bad because he's just so itchy and is willing to snap his own neck just to be able to dig his face into a hand or finger, it's so cute but so sad

he is definitely struggling though. Between that and him holding food in his throat pouch longer than he should (supposedly is a baby dunner quirk.? That's what the breeder said and she also mentioned he'll grow out of it) and this whole shed thing, he's having a rough start at life. The vet said the only way to know 100% certainly is with a CT scan.? But we don't have him on our insurance yet so we can't take him to UGA, so we're gonna do the antibiotic and just work on keeping his nose clear as best we can and keeping his tank warmer than usual.
I ordered a background for his tank so that other baby lizard that's very obviously in his space can't hurt him anymore so hopefully that will help cut down on stress.
You can see on the side of his face where the dark mark is around his nostril, in the photo, it almost blends in with his markings. The other two are just to show how pretty he is.
