Hey All.
So after a week and a half of applying the cream, Serp seems to be on the mend.
He has scales growing back in the area that they were missing, though they are still rather soft and he does lose two or three when we apply his cream, but it honestly can't be helped.
His stitches need to stay in for 6-8 weeks. That's the stitches from the biopsy (they didn't stitch his back).
He's still happy and (seemingly) healthy. We fed him a couple days after getting him home, and yes we checked with the vet that it was alright. Dropped him from medium adult rats (160g) to small adult rats (120g) and he smashed it, as always. The boy never refuses a meal...
The bloods showed that there is an inflammation UNDER the wound area. Which is quite odd, as you would think it would be inflamed at the wound site itself. As far as the biopsy's go, they showed nothing, which has Dr Doneley stumped. He said he'd be sending microscopic pics to a reptile dermatologist to figure out why there is inflammation UNDER the skin rather than at the site.
No inflammation at the site means that it cannot possibly be from a cut, scratch, burn, etc. The question is, does the inflammation deeper down have anything to do with the issue?
Still waiting to hear results from the Reptile Dermatologist.
Will continue posting if anyone is still interested. Maybe like the post or something to give me an idea if it's worth pursuing.
Otherwise, as always... Cheers, Guys.
