Good Afternoon All,I'd really appreciate some assistance on this one.My darwin girl has has her first ever bad shed just over a week ago, at which time I soaked her in a warm bath for approx 20 minutes and then gently removed the problem skin.A day after, I noticed a couple of lifted scales and that she had also moved through a fresh defecation, so I removed her and cleaned her with warm, wet paper towel.We've been away for a couple of days and I pulled her out to check her again and she has what looks like an infection - I have attached a couple of pics.I think that maybe she's picked up some nasties after the bad shed & moving through a pile of poo and she now has an infection as she's a little pink around the area under the scales also. (see pics)There is a very small amount of clear discharge coming from the area.There are no heating or lamp issues in her enclosure where she could have been injured/burnt.I'm pretty keen to wipe her down with a betadine solution and if it gets worse in the next 24-48 hrs, I'll vet her.Any advice is greatly appreciated.
