Hello
Auzzie just had a shed, but on one small spot on her chest it came off like a scab instead of normal shed skin - and there is a sore there where it peeled off(kinda looks like a hole)
I have put polysporin ointment on it - I hope that's ok. I think I read before that you can put polysporin on sores. It doesn't look infected really, it's pink, but it sure looks sore.
Please let me know if there's any other thing I should do other than washing it and putting this stuff on it.
Thanks
PS: what could have caused this and how do i prevent future shed sores?
Two things you don't help your beardie shed by pulling it off do you? Sometimes if the skin comes off before its ready it can leave a raw spot. Second thing to consider is possibility of mites if you go to the site http://www.suncharmers.com and look under mite madness, you will see a photo where the the skin pealed off the head of a collared lizard that was infested and the owner didn't realize it. The mites had been embedded under the skin feeding all the time!
