Something strange on Ammit

[drumcrush]

I just came back from my dads house, to find something strange on Ammits tail. I'm not sure if it is a scab, from hurting herself on something..or maybe some scale rot. I put some Neosporin on it. Any idea on what it is or how to get rid of it? Thanks for any help!

Looks like scale rot. I would clean the area with betadine. Put it on a q tip and give the area a gentle wipe down. Then apply neosporin or any other 3 way antibiotic ointment. I would make sure the enclosure is thoroughly sanitized and cleaned. Take care and keep us posted as he recovers Drumcrush!...oh and if the area gets worse take him to the vet ASAP!

Poo:/ thanks though! I will clean it all up when I get home from school, and hopefully she starts healing:)

Just saw this thread! Yeah, be sure and clean/sanitize the tank as Rage mentioned. Good luck with Ammit! and keep us posted!;)

Good luck DC. I hope Ammit heals up soon.

[drumcrush]

Yeah, thanks guys!

That sucks, but I'm sure he will recover just fine, looks like you at least caught it pretty early though

[drumcrush]

Yeah, it could be much worse, which I'm glad it isn't!

Looks like he may have just pulled of a couple scales, not necessarily scale rot. Should be fine once he sheds again, but you can do the betadine and some antibiotic ointment like what Primal Rage said :)

I was also thinking that. Thanks!

Ammit just shed and her tail looks 500x better. Still healing though:p she definitely had scales pulled.
