Just an update - The little girl is doing really well. She's very active and there are no signs of bleeding or oozing. She keeps moving towards her basking area to sleep - so far so good 🙂

Absolutely, that's the plan. I will see how she does overnight, the bleeding has stopped and I will clean her in the morning again. Thank you for all your help 🐢

I have attached a few pictures, you can see under her foot (I have cleaned the area)
