played doctor for the night :3 pic heavy

well, one of my favorite females seemed to have a little bit of a mouth infection caused by some old shed? it started real small, and then grew to the point i was concerned, so i did a little research and found out what i should do about it...the only reason i treated it myself, is because i felt comfortable doing it. if i didnt feel comfortable, or if it come back, then i will make a vet appointment.

here she is when i first got her, infection was very very slight:


heres some pics of what it looked like lastnight that had me concerned:



and heres the treatment process:

letting her soak:


she only soaked about 5 minutes and the nasty yellow thing softened up and came right off, it was much bigger than i expected...


then i took a quetip and put some listerine on it and swabbed the area. it couldnt have tasted good lol. i used to use listerine on the horses to treat or prevent rainrot, which is a similar infection. you can see where the thing came off, its still a little swollen:


and the last step! GIVING HER SOME LOVE! she was such a sweet girl the whole time! other than a bit of squirming, she was soo chill and calm!


i need a name for this girl. like i said, she is one of my favorites and she is too darn sweet to not have a name! i was thinking precious, but then it got me thinking to lord of the rings..and i decided it didnt fit her lol..

That is a lot bigger than it looked, must have been very uncomfortable for her and as for names in the wrong person to say, I still haven't managed to name half my chams

Good job, Im sure she apprechiated it!!
