'Tooth'?

[Kaspar825]

My African Fat Tail gecko has a 'tooth' on the right side of his mouth. I put it in the leopard gecko section because i think its a leopard gecko problem also. It seems to grow as he grows. Hes had it since he was bought. I will try to get pics but its kinda small but ill see. Is this a problem?Please dont move it unless its is not a problem because this can help both species.


Thanks,
Kaspar

I assume from the quotes you mean something other than one of the gecko's actual teeth? Is it a bump or a dent or something? Sorry, I'm tired at the moment and stuff doesn't make as much sense to me. :tongue3:

Its like it goes in but its caveish if you understand that, i dont know how to describe it but then on the in side of it it has a material looking like a dried out turky bone lol. It doesnt hurt him i dont think because i can touch it and he doesntmove at all and its like on his lip

Pictures perhaps?

 

[Kaspar825]

ok

 

[Kaspar825]

Sorry cant get pics today but yesterday he threw up i think or maybe pooped but it looked like throw up. And i think he grew another 'tooth' on the other side of his mouth.

Whatever it is, he sounds sick - why can't you get pictures of the little guy?

 

[Kaspar825]

Cant use my DADS camera right now he gets home tomorow





EDIT- CAPITALS

He looks fine and acts fine is eating good so can he be sick? He is active when i take take him out and is out at night. I might be able to get pictures tonight but ill see. I hope Ajax isnt sick:main_no::main_thumbsdown:

 

[Kaspar825]

Sorry to not keep you updated but he just shed and its gone he has a little bit on his right side but just a tiny tiny bit of it. So i think he is fine.

 

[Kaspar825]

I wonder if it could be an abscess from being bitten by his own food? Could you get a picture from the top?

 

[Kaspar825]

I don't think so because why is the something in it and it's on both sides

 

[Kaspar825]

http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=55402. It looks like this should I try peroxide?

 

[KrakenQueen]

You could give it a try - I don't see why not, however just don't use it too often as it can damage the tissues. Just a dab'll do it.

it does look like an infection of some sort, but the pictures are a little unclear for me to get a really good look at it.

I see that you have linked my post about my girl.

I tried the beta-dine solution and saw no results. So I used a q-tip soaked in peroxide, gently dabbed the area and let it fizz for a bit. Wiped the peroxide off with another damp q-tip and repeated two more times. On the last dab the infected apart fell out, she licked the area before I could grab the infected part. After I got the infection out I cleaned the area with water and then used a q-tip to place triple anti-biotic on the sore. I repeated the anti-biotic every day for a week, with a peroxide treatment every other day. I did have to repeat the treatment about 2 weeks later as the spot did reappear, but since then she has not had anymore infection in that area.

 

[Kaspar825]

It's weird because it comes out when he sheds so no new pics

 

[Kaspar825]

Lol what's triple anti-biotics I'm 13 need help lol

Lol what's triple anti-biotics I'm 13 need help lol

Neosporin Original ointment would be an example... there's plenty of generics as well. What your momma used to put on your scraped knees when you were younger.

Make sure you get the ointment with out the "pain relief".
