Black stuff on mouth. Dry nose

[catzeye21138]

Ugh. My sister finally came home, and when I asked her she got really defencive and said "He is in shed you can't hold him!!!!!!" And that is total bull because she always takes him out during his shed. Partly because he can't do it himself (she calls him stupid, I call her stupid). In any case, my next post on this thread will be a picture. I'll see if i can't sneak down there with the camera when she is in the bathroom or something.

I got the pictures, sorry they aren't very good. I had to hurry.

This one SORT OF shows his dry nose.


This one shows what is left of the black stuff my sister wouldn't pick off. It was all down the line of his mouth, both sides.


Edit: I just realized, that black stuff looks like a mustache! XDD

Could he have rubbed his face in his own poo? If so you wanna clean that off so he doesn't get any bacteria build up in his mouth. Chlorahexadrene(spelling) is great to clean wounds or potential bacteria problems, I clean all my tubs with it. Even cleaned beardie eggs(mold) which hatched perfectly.

Couldn't be poop. That is the one thing my sister is good at. Cleaning it up. I have NEVER seen a single poop/urate in his tank. I will tell her about that stuff though to be sure he doesn't get bacteria in his mouth or whatever.

Chlorhexidine is a great solution if it is just gunk.

If not, I have never seen that on a BP that didn't actually already have those markings permanantly fixated..

Vet would be able to determine for sure.

Well it is coming off just by a fingernail so it has to be gunk. I'm going to tell my sister a vet visit is the best thing she can do right now. Thanks for the help.
