Frontal Leg Injury

[Aya A.R]

Hello

A few minutes ago I found this in my Greek tort in his left frontal leg, its swollen with a bit of what appears to be blood but it is not bleeding

What should I do and if anyone has any idea what could this be I'd be thankful to know

Thanks in advance

Looks like a possible scrape. I would carefully clean it with warm water and apply an antibiotic over the counter cream on it and place him in an enclosure with plain white paper towel as the substrate until it heals. If it starts getting worse or bigger then get him to a good reptile vet.

Thanks for your reply dear, would a cream like garamycin (for bacterial infections) do?

As long as it has an antibiotic in it and is an over the counter.

This literally just happened to me. So I gave her a bath, put some antibiotic cream on it, and it started to heal. Repeat the process, mine was okay!
