So we have had Psymon for about a year, and he's been shedding and eating great for the last 6 months. However, when he went into shed this last time, he had a terrible time of it. Each time we went to rinse and fill his water he seemed extra grumpy so we left him alone. Fast forward to yesterday when we decided to ignore the hissing and take him out to change the substrate (we have been using newspaper with no issues) and found that his belly was burned. Not the worst I've seen from Internet pics but pretty bad. We put Neosporin on the burns and changed the paper to paper towels and took out anything we could that he could scrape himself on and injure the burn further. I bought some silver cream (the anti microbial one) today, as I saw it was mentioned on here a few times for burns.
We were going to give it a day or two of cream and having paper towels before taking him to the vet. However, he spent most of the day in his hide (which is on the hot side) today and when we checked on him this evening we thought we heard a clicking noise. We are hyper sensitive as we lost a BP to an RI (turns out we had gotten him when he was already sick). Given his terrible shed, could the clicking just be from skin stuck?
We cannot get him to the vet until Thursday, and are really worried his condition will deteriorate rapidly.
Please any advice as to what to do is appreciated. We feel terrible!!
