So here's an update for everyone. We took Kiwi to the vet on Tuesday and she prescribed a diluted baytril solution which we are applying once daily. We have moved him into a quarantine tank where all we have is damp paper towels in the bottom which we change daily. (in addition to a water dish and small log) He does have a small appetite and eats a cricket every day or two. Here are some pictures of the little guy taken this morning:
As you can see, his skin has significantly improved and his tail has healed a little bit. The vet will deal with the protruding bone once the other issues are cleared up. We know we're not out of the woods yet but we are optimistic.
Thanks for all your well wishes and support.

Wow, he does look a lot better. What is the plan for the tail bone? Surgery? You are so awesome for giving him a chance. How is his temperament through this ordeal?
