Two pinkish spots on bottom of head, rough dull spot on top of head
So, I'm to understand the dull spot on top of the head could just be a bad shed, and that would make sense - he's always been a good shedder (generally one piece), but that last one was awful.
That said, the two pink spots worry me. Here's a pic:
(or if that doesn't work, here's the URL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0zjnljbdg6...%2028%20PM.jpg)
I'm gonna come clean, and say that after a bit of reading yesterday I did the following:
1. Completely changed out all of his bedding.
2. Dabbed a tiny bit of neosporin on the spots on his chin.
3. Got him out later that evening to make sure he was ok.
So, he didn't seem ok. He seemed lethargic, I caught him with his neck upside down and extended a couple of times (which really made me worry), but when I actually started flipping him around and stuff, he kept his head upright the entire time. He was puffing at me a lot (most often after giving my neck a good squeeze, or whenever he'd accidentally flinging himself around, like when his "tail latch" comes loose).
So, more information: he's probably hasn't eaten in 6 weeks (had a separate thread on that). I've had him since he was a baby, for about 1.5y now, male, 36oz, 3', natural coloring. Has always been a good eater and good shedder in the past, so the last 6 weeks have been very atypical. He's still plenty strong tho, as is evidenced by that fact I felt like my eyeballs were gonna pop out of my head a second ago..
Anyway, the picture is the main thing. What's going on? Neosporin bad/good idea?
