Need Advice ASAP

[mermaidheather]

Yes, I agree. I was just comparing the two to see the difference. I'm going to try these tonight. (these as in the API Turtle Fix and the neosporin)

Now, here's to hoping he doesn't get overly stressed during this. He is such a sensitive pacman, and I just moved. So he's been extra moody.

I just figured I would do an update.

Chomper seems to be fine, other than the wound. He is still eating, and even pooping during a couple of the medicated soaks. The bump has gone down significantly. I am just keeping the wound as clean as possible. I was keeping him in a hospital tank, but I couldn't get the temps right in it, so I put him back into his regular home. I know this means I will just be paying extra attention to keeping it clean. He seems far more comfortable now as well. Before I felt like I could tell he was irritated. Here's to oping we are on the right path.

At this point, I believe he'll be just fine. So long as the wound will close soon.

Cory you are right

how are things with Chomper right now?

Hey hows it going? Nice to see you around. Chomper and the gang are doing really good, After he got abit bigger the vet discovered that he had damaged his inner eyelid ( hope I said that right ) so he has a hard time shutting his eye when he completely goes underground and sometimes will get some stuff in there. When it does happen I just give him a bath and he will shed in there and after the skin comes off his eye is ok. Or I just use a eye dropper and some distilled water and clean it out with that. And always have a bottle of ciloxan 0.03% just in case, but since the mild infection as a baby I have been lucky and haven't had to use it. It doesn't effect him at all, hes a eating and pooping machine.

Lol and how is OP's Chomper? Gosh so many Chompers around. Lol

[monster]

L.O.L I thought you were asking me, ya theres a lot Chompers and Jabbas. For the OP's Chomper I'm not sure she hasn't been on since her last post. Hopefully that cut has healed abit though and hes starting to get better.

[mermaidheather]

Hey guys, Chomper still has the cut, but still eating and doing well. He has no behavior changes at all. The cut doesn't seem to bother him. I even have watched him when he is moving, and he moves just fine. He doesn't react like he is in pain when I put any bactine or neosporin on either. I am still watching it cautiously, because the cut is still there, and doesn't seem to be closing. I left him alone thru the weekend to just see how that helps with the healing. So tonight when I get him all cleaned up I'll have a better idea of what the cut actually looks like currently. I'm hoping leaving it be helped it close. If I remember I'll get an updated picture.
