So since I got my skink Oliver in March he had had this wound on his face. I asked her about it only a few days after I got him where I took him to a check up and she said it was fine.
I took him there again later in May cause it was still there. She reopened the wound and told me to clean it every day. I did. It doesn't seem to be going away...
I am afraid it is scale rot and that the vet failed to see it.
Should I worry?

Re: I worry my vet is wrong
I see the wound, but it is hard to tell. Can you get a zoomed in shot of just the area that is in question. Did they put your skink on antibiotics? Do you know how the wound happened in the first place?

Re: I worry my vet is wrong
No idea how it happened.
He has been on antibiotics also because his leg got swollen before I got him aswell. His last home didn't even know that he needed high humidity or calcium so there was a lot to deal with when I got him.
I will take a picture as soon as I get home

I'm taking him to another vet tomorrow hoping that they can see something the first vet couldn't

Re: I worry my vet is wrong
Looks like he got impaled by something. Glad you got him into another vet for a second opinion. What is the antibiotic he was put on? It should heal the woun depending on what it is. Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: I worry my vet is wrong
I honestly don't remember...
Is there a way to make sure yourself that is isn't scale rot?
