I checked on my baby Hephaestus today and I noticed this gash. It seems a little deep, but that may be an optical illusion. It seems a purpley-red around the wound so I am scared that it may be infected. I'm not sure if it's actually a gash, or a scale that somehow got ripped off....either way, I'm not sure how it happened or how severe the injury is.
I apologize for the poor quality of the images.
I have Heph quarantined and have cleaned the wound and applied antiseptic and some neosporin.
Any suggestions on the severity of this wound would be EXTREMELY helpful and appreciated.
