well, one of my favorite females seemed to have a little bit of a mouth infection caused by some old shed? it started real small, and then grew to the point i was concerned, so i did a little research and found out what i should do about it...
here she is when i first got her, infection was very very slight:
heres some pics of what it looked like lastnight that had me concerned:
and heres the treatment process:
letting her soak:
she only soaked about 5 minutes and the nasty yellow thing softened up and came right off, it was much bigger than i expected...
then i took a quetip and put some listerine on it and swabbed the area. it couldnt have tasted good lol. i used to use listerine on the horses to treat or prevent rainrot, which is a similar infection. you can see where the thing came off, its still a little swollen:
and the last step! GIVING HER SOME LOVE! she was such a sweet girl the whole time! other than a bit of squirming, she was soo chill and calm!
i need a name for this girl. like i said, she is one of my favorites and she is too darn sweet to not have a name! i was thinking precious, but then it got me thinking to lord of the rings..and i decided it didnt fit her lol..
