In Reply to: Myka\'s Nose :( posted by Solaris16 on August 07, 2002 at 13:32:10:
You will definitely want to keep that mesh covered up if she keeps on rubbing against it. I'm not sure what can be done about the wound other than keeping it clean and trying not to let it get further irritated. My ig, Sebastian had cut a finger open on one of the climbing things I used to have in his enclosure and the darned thing just kept on breaking back open. It got to the point that the vet had to put him in a "cast" (he bandaged it up really well and it looked like the poor guy actually had a cast on - if only they made iguana crutches).
Good luck - I hope she heals up quickly!!
:Hi Everyone,
:Myka had a pretty bruised up nose for quite awhile from bumping her nose on the plexiglass. Once she stopped bumping I felt it was safe to take the piece of wood off the plastic mesh on her door. I watched her very closely, and she wasn't bothering the mesh at all. But a couple days ago she started rubbing on it while I was in the shower. When I came out I found her bleeding some and looking like this. I had been treating her nose with diluted betadine up to this point, but now I think maybe something more should be done? This injury hurts her...and she really doesn't like it when I put the betadine on it. I'm so scared that she will get mouth rot from it!
:Any advice? Go to the vet? Thanks! Wendy :)
:PS-The mesh is covered back up again. But when she jumps from her trees to the ground she sometimes cuts her nose again.
