Bad Shed

[prettyinpink]

Well me being me I wouldn't of sprayed him with anything without being prescribed by a doctor. With bad sheds you usually use WATER and only water...

He needs to go in asap... If his skin let's in too much aloe it could poison him. (correct me if i'm wrong)
Aloe is highly absorbent if he took in too much his metabolism probably wouldn't be able to process it and he could overdose

but if you mixed it...shouldn't be that big of a deal. how much aloe was in there?

I'd say soak him...but to be honest...I'm not going to say anything for sure as it's already gotten REALLY bad. Please get him in asap. I mean seriously it looks horriable (sorry to be blunt) Keep us updated, I hope he'll be ok.

The 1st picture was before i rubbed him with a q tip the last picture was after some skin came off i think he missed the other day but he looked alot better his mouth and eyes also look alot better after he soaks.... has any1 ever seen this??? Im thinking reaction because of the pink on top of his nose that wasnt there before and hes not rubbing agains anything

well it looks like something is eating his skin away tbh. i would stop rubbing his skin off though. it's REALLY sensitive since it's already peeling, just leave him be.

Have you tried flushing the affected eye a couple times a day with plain saline solution? It could be as simple as shed stuck but it could be as worse as an infection now started because of the stuck shed. It's good that you're taking him in for a difinitive answer but until you get there you could try the saline solution rinse to see if it helps (at this point it honestly can't hurt). I can see some stuck shed on the second picture on his upper eye ridge. The dark yellowish stuff at the top of his eyeball looks like shed that had rolled as he blinked imo. Hopefully the vet can extract it. Is he keeping his mouth shut now?

Allergic reaction? Since he started with such a bad shed I spayed a mist on him with aloe in it any chance he is having a reaction? I take him out and put a warm wet rag over his face and he looks almost normal when he gets bored and walks out from under it these pictures were right after.. But as soon as he starts to dry is like his skin gets tight and he starts looking bad again.. hes still active and acting fine i had fed him no problem

Geez I wouldnt have sprayed him with aloe.You need to stop doing what your doing and bring him in to a vet.I think your making matters worse by compounding things

I have a question for you, was he shedding and you pulled off the shedding?

Second, it does look like he's getting infected... something got really messed up with him, what substrate do you use? Mabe he got some in his eye? He looks like his eye is getting infected...which is leading to his nose, and then making him breathe out of his mouth.

No i didnt pull off his shed im not stupid he shed while i was at work just had a few bits on his toes when i got home. As for the aloe its a Zilla reptile mist it has other things in it besides aloe. Since I soaked him and qtipped him down he is looking better in the mouth and a bit in the eyes. And hes just on paper towels

Okay well imo i think it would've irriated it..which it's obvious it did.

So let us know what happens after the vet. Good Luck.
