Best ointment/cream for sores?

[Brandy]

Hello, I got my girl Twinkle in Feb and she is about a year old. She is missing most of her toes, the previous owner told me she has always had a shedding problem. I of course made her a nice humid hide and her shedding has been doing well with me only having to help her out a little. I noticed her shed just wasn't coming off on its own Thurs. and gave her a warm soak. Last night i went to give her a soak again and noticed her belly is sooooo bad. It has bloody spots and scabbing all over it. I am assuming it is from the shed. I worked with her last night and finally was able to get majority of it off. What can i put on her belly to keep it from getting infected. She has acted completely normal until this shed, she's really had a rough time with it.

I allways keep a bottle of tamodine close, just dab it on with a cotten bud.

Can i just pick that up at anywhere or is it for reptiles?

it works the same as iodine for humans, but the tamodine is marketed for reptiles, you should be able to pick it up and any good reptile supply shop.

Oh okay, i don't have a reptile shop near me so i would have to order it. I really wanted to get something on her immediately. Thank you for your help.

if your in america, i think some guys over there use something called neosprin? something like that, this also seems to work well.

Neosporin is for treating minor cuts on humans, yes. Never tried it on a leo, but my leo's mercifully never needed such treatment.
