Mouth and nose problems
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2023 11:19 am
Hi there, I have a bluey who was doing really well until I moved a month ago, recently he has been rubbing a lot more than usual. He has always had a sort of mishaped nose with the little purple patch under the nostrils, so I am not concerned about that but I noticed yesterday he had this brown scales above his nose. I gave him a betadine bath. Usually baths are no big deal and he even eats right afterwards with no problem. After this one he seemed really spooked and refused to open his eyes (The morning after he is now opening them ( I also rinsed them with a saline solution per the vet's recommendation) when he moves around and ate a small amount of food). I want to continue to disinfect those scales and monitor his health. Any advice?
