My iguana's fought, and the one has a deep wound on his wrist and a break in the skin on his upper arm, what can I do for him until after the holiday weekend? I used gause padding and medical tape to bandage the wounds up as best as possible.
What's the best action to take with deep iguana wounds? All the vets are closed on the weekend.?
Hello..Clean it with providine iodine ( betadyne ) available @ wal marts, grocery %26amp; pharmacys, apply some neosporin %26amp; all will be fine...unless it gets infected, just keep it clean with the betadyne ..no bandages %26amp; SEPERATE the iguana's, reptiles can rarely be housed together ,especially 2 males after they become adults ..yikes, they can fight to the death !! Doubt you'll need vet if you do as I have recommended !! Take Care :)
Reply:Separate them. Keep the wounds clean with diluted betadine solution. You will probably need a vet to take a look, because reptiles have a lot of bacteria in their mouths and the wounds could easily become infected. Deep wounds might need sutures.
Reply:i hope you cleaned it 1st. if not clean it then put some more gauze on it . if it want stop bleeding see if there is any iodine in your first aid kit
( if that's where you found the medical supplies). if you don't have any and he is still gushing blood out use salt . and if those didn't stop it you better find a needle and thread quick and start sowing him up. hurrie (stat)
