Need Urgent Help ASAP!!!
One of my ball pythons managed to squeezed his way out of his cage while I was sleeping. I woke up this morning to find him really cold but alive on the ground. I looked him over after quickly giving him a warm bath. Since he just barely managed to open the cage top and squeeze through, the tight fit caused him to have a two really bad wound from scraping against the cage and the cage top. There has been barely any blood, but you can see pink flesh. The closes reptile vet is no where close to me (almost in the next state over). What can I do to treat his wound? So far he is acting his normal self and is still pretty active around his cage. I cleaned it, put fresh newspaper and water in there. I just need advice on how to treat his wound and best way to prevent infection.
Link is a picture of the worse wound, the other one is near to the bottom of his tail. Please help, he means the world to my fiancee and I!
