Is this a burn?

[Creaturelover123]

I found this on Franklin. I think it is a burn or a bruise.
What do you guys think? I hired his light so he can't get as close as he was to his light.

Thanks!
P.S If it is a burn or a bruise how long will it take to heal?

That would be an odd spot for a burn. My guy had a mysterious spot just like that, it went away after a few sheds.

Okay thanks!

Looks like it could be a burn...or a lil shmutz... random place for a burn though. Have you tried washing it off?


BTW! Awwwwww!!!! He's adorable and his name is so fitting!!!!

I tried to get it off with my finger, but it wouldn't come off.



He is a cutie isn't he! Thanks!

Np He turned me into a mushball lol.

Try neosporin 2x a day for a few days (3 or 4)

 

[Creaturelover123]

I'll try that.

Do you guys think it could be a bruise?

Idk, I've never seen a chameleon bruise before. But I read somewhere that they bruise green.

If I didn't put neosporin how long would it take to heel?
I say that because I don't think I have any and I don't know when I can go get some.

Not putting neosporin on it raises a risk for infection from what i've read/been told by my vet. I would get it ASAP, 4$ at CVS or Walgreens or Walmart.

Not trying to be pushy, promise, just don't want ur lil dude to get an infection

I just checked, and I have some.

So all I have to do is rub it on that spot for 3-4 days?

 

[squeekz1992]

It's just a home remedy. If it doesn't work I would go to the vet & ask about silver sulfadiazine. It works wonders on burns (human or animal).

Okay Thanks!

hi sophie,
it'll go away after a shed or two. i'm sure it's from him duking it out w/ his clutchmates. it's nothing to worry about.

I second this

 

[Creaturelover123]

It came off, but it left a black spot so I put neosporin on it just in case.

Thanks everyone for the help!

 

[Creaturelover123]

The black spot that it left is almost gone!!!
