Re: treating belly/scale rot
"the big guy" is the spider adult male (1150+g) who is having the problem lol.. its the only one. I was just wondering if Derek had any input in addition to yours.
Thanks so much for the help with him.. im looking forward to him healing and getting better. I actually have never had a skin burn, sunburn, exc with my kids so unfortunately i dont have any of the silvadene ... hes on newspaper right now, i can certainly put him on paper towels until he heals a bit more

Re: treating belly/scale rot
should i change his paper towels everyday? I would imagine it would make sense to keep from making it worse, i just want to make sure. He has a few new spots that have creeped up but otherwise looks great, not as swollen by his vent and i can actually see his spurs now. I have gone through almost a whole tube of neosporin in these last couple days. ((crosses fingers)) I hope he gets better

Re: treating belly/scale rot
It wouldnt hurt to change it every day... Keeps things nice and clean, and if I were you I would go buy like 5 tubes of neosporin... Baytril from the vet would also help

Re: treating belly/scale rot
too bad it isnt tablet baytril lol.. i have lots of that! The paper just gets so greasy because of the neosporin, i also find it looks more red when its due to be done.. for instance tonight it was pretty red, after i put the stuff on it, it toned right down and looked much better.

Re: treating belly/scale rot
Doesn't need Baytril or anything else unless it starts to get infected(ie has a smell). Let his own immune system try to fight it first with the aid of the neosporin. They usually do fine

Re: treating belly/scale rot
Yep, it'll always look worse before getting better. Scales may look dry and ragged, but as long as they are drying out and not staying wet and brown, that's a good sign. Once he sheds once, that will take a good bit of the mess away. After a second shed, you probably won't be able to tell.
As long as the paper towels aren't wet or soiled, I wouldn't worry about changing them every day. Maybe every 3rd should be sufficient.
