Need help for sick leo (Diet, skin and infection)

Ok so here some:

Here's an underview



Here's one side view:



Another shot



These were the best shots I could get with the lighting being bad I had to use my phone and camera XD

Thanks for posting the pics. In the middle pic looks like the white is shed skin stuck around the scab and that skin underneath is either not healed or still has a problem. Honestly if i was you i would get him checked by the vet just to be sure cos if your anything like me it will bug you till you do and all you'll do is worry about him

I agree... it looks like that big chunk of nasty is trying to fall off revealing the new viable skin/body parts beneath. A follow up with the vet would be a good idea cause he could excise that necrotic bit of skin that's half way off and the healing process could continue at a much faster pace with out it there.

Ok I will need to get too that.

He is looking in so much better shape he seems so hyper! He is running around all around his cage climbing on things, pooping, eating and looking happy.

He is eating alot, gave him two mealworms and 2 crickets (small ones) yesterday and gobbled them up.

Gave him another 2 crickets today cause he was moving around like he does when he is hungry but I don't wanna over feed him but I imagine he is hungry after not eating for so long.

glad to hear Dean is a lively boy again and eating well



hows his scab looking now?

It's dried up a bit more. Still looks similar to the posted pictures but the way he is acting I'm not going to put a rush on taking him so I'm going to get him in this upcoming weekend

I think your doing whats right for Dean as he's so happy and hyper glad its dried up a bit more

So Dean is shedding again and the necrotic scab is almost off but it looks really sore under there and he is biting off the scab to help pull it off. I hope he doesn't eat it. O.o

Also it looks like he doesn't have the teste lump ont ha side anymore O.o maybe he lost his testicle to that infection? Anyway I'll keep and eye on it after I get back from studying but I hope it it heals up nicely otherwise I'll try taking him in tomorrow.

Ok so it looks like it fell off, or more like he pulled it off, and I grabbed it before he could eat it if he was going too. There is a bit more skin back there and he tried to reach for it but he was making sounds like he was in pain when he reached back there. I think I;m going to take him tot he vet tonight cause I'm worried about him sucks that I have a test tomorrow :/ oh well his life is more precious to me.

best to get checked if your worried hun x hope all is ok with him tho x

Ok so went to Vet. He said Dean looks nice, he weighs about 88 g and such. His wound is raw. Said to continue Dean on he Baytril for another 1-2 weeks, maybe up to 4 now that the infection is off of him and it can heal correctly. Lets hope sooner and later cause I know Dean doesn't like how it makes him feel!

awwww bless him more nasty tasting anti-biotics but at least he's on the mend x

Hope every thing is ok. Please keep us posted and try to get some new pix if you're comfortable doing it.

Ok let me try to get a curret picture of it now. It looks like it dried a bit so thats good, only thing is a piece of moss got caught in it cause it was moist XD I need to get it out but he is so squirshmish

This is what it looks like now. I used tweezers and got the piece of moss off. Much better then that big black thing before. Still looks a bit sickly though so hopefully this continuation of antibiotics will help

Looks like it's trying to heal to me, good job on getting everything fixed up with this guy .

Oh good Yeah I hope thats what it does. I just feel bad cause Dean will probably go back to not eating very much again casue thats how the antibiotics made him feel last time but maybe not

looks alot better than the crusty scab hun and at 88grams he'll be fine if the anti-biotics put him off his food again x

I am glad that everything is looking up. You are doing a great job taking care of him!!

Thanks ) Now to deal with giving him medicine again lol. I tried the nose thing but he doesn't lick it until its falling into his mouth XD But I'll keep trying diffenrt ways, I always end up losing some of the medicine cause he moves so much :/
