Hi there,

I have a Schneider's Skink, female, a little over 12 years old. I've had her since she was a baby and this is the first time she's ever been sick! She went to the Vet on Friday and he prescribed Baytril, extra heat exposure (i.e. warm bathes, outside time, etc).

However, I had a scare this morning when giving her the antibiotic injection. This is the second time I personally have delivered the injection, and this morning when I tried to do it, she twitched a little, nothing out of the ordinary, but the needle went in a bit farther when she did and when I pulled it out she started to bleed for about 20-30 seconds. The bleeding stopped and she glared at me, or so it seemed. Since then she's been fairly active. She walked around outside and climbed all over my shirt/shoulders. But I'm still scared I may have damaged something important or hurt her? Does anyone know? The vet is only at the clinic on certain days so I don't know how to get a hold of him. Especially on a Sunday when they are closed.

Like I said, she seems fairly active, but I'm still scared. I've had her for 12 years and I don't want to have hurt her. Please help!
