Sore

[ilovebeardies]

My geriatric bearded dragon Quasimodo is shedding for like the second time ever since he's been in my care, however I noticed on his hand where he's shedding there is a pink sore where it looks like there's no scale, so I gave him a nice soak and put triple antibiotic ointment on it. Anyone ever experience this? He has shed that is coming up but parts look like the scales aren't formed completely.

Can you get a picture of it?

Ouch! Could he have burned it on something?

 

[ilovebeardies]

No he has nothing he could possibly burn it on. I'm wondering if it has to do with his shedding because out of no where his whole body started shedding but as you can see on the pic some parts still don't want to come off im wondering if he snagged it on a rock and maybe it ripped off before it should have.

It could have just been a piece of shed that wasn't ready and caught it and ripped it off

Poor baby

 

[ilovebeardies]

That's what im thinking

 

[PatsyB]

Hopefully that's what it is! Just try keeping it clean and putting the ointment on it, hopefully that will help.

Will do I feel bad he's such an old man. He doesn't do anything anymore

 

[PatsyB]

How old is he?

He's around 7or8 but was abused really bad before I got him so he is very frail
