The Underlying cause.

As some of you may know Karma, my pardalis had some thing going on with his mouth, I had been using rot guard and reptaid but one area didnt seem to get any better, Today I found something that may have let to the whole infection.

I saw on one side of his mouth something that didnt look right, so I got some tweezers and sure enough it wasnt part of him, It looked small form the outside but it came out pretty big, Im guessing it was some left over shed that got infected, the second one (left on first pic) I wouldnt have even noticed.

heres the guy it came from.

Good eyes man, I always worry that something like that will happen to me and go untreated for too long. Props to you for catching it.

Thanks I knew something wasnt right since it hadn't been healing properly.

Wow, he is a beast!

Well done for finding out what was wrong! Shed skin can be a pain if it ends up in the wrong place! You'd have thought he would have licked his lips to remove it for himself. Chams can be a bit thick sometimes, lol! Amy ate some of her shed the other day - I saw her zapping bits off the bottom of the cage! Ewww!

haha, it was at the base of his mouth where the jaw muscle is, im sure they must get it off naturally on their own but he just didnt

Tylene thank you!

Glad you found that and hope that's what was causing the problem and he will now have a full recovery. Jann

Im hoping thats the cause! I wont know until I see progress though. Keep him in your thoughts since he still refuses to eat on his own.
