    As they were healing, the outer skin died...sorry for the poor picture, but you can see the blackness.



    Here is Twigs now...new blue skin grew in underneath and the black sloughed off...
    Thank you for sharing, Twiggy looks great! Mine still has black 'scabs', but they are shrinking, slowly... Her eye drops will be done tomorrow (dr. frye said 2 weeks on the drops, and her eye is still not completely healed), but he didn't specify how long to use the SSD cream? Should I continue to use the cream and eye drops until the black scabs fade? Stop the eye drops after tomorrow, and continue the SSD cream?
    Again, thank you for the help, and all of your concern.

    Hi Bolisnide,
    I would update Dr Frye. If he is unaware of how the healing is progressing , he is unable to adjust the original treatment plan. It's really that simple. This is one of the those situations where : #1 he is really terrific and will continue to help you; #2 you have worked so hare , you don't want any chances of stopping anything too soon !
    You are doing this! It's rewarding work..right ! Is is hunting for his own crickets? If he is still reluctant put MORE in! How frequently are you dusting with both vits and calcium. What are your crickets eating?


    Congratulations !


    Twiggy's story is amazing. He was really sick. I think Heath spends her days off driving to yuckie pet stores lking for rescues!
