Awesome, thanks for trying to fix this asap !!
Ask the Vet for Silvadene. It has been proven to work great for these cases !! And please stick around...We will help you to get your setup as perfect as it can get, even at a low cost to begin with.
A thermostat is simply the one thing one cannot do without...there is no getting around it. As you have learned the hard way.
See if you can get something to measure the temps as well. Those stick on round thermometers are worth less and a waste of money. Walmart and Hardware stores have digital thermometers with probes. This way you can make sure your heat is right, on top of the UTH (inside the enclosure) I've seen thermometers like that for around $10. Its another good investment, esp. since you will have to monitor temperatures religiously.
You can still fix this, this is a pretty severe case, but I've seen worse being turned around. Most important thing is to fix everything up asap and then work on keeping it sterile and treated. You can do it
