To tell if your monitor is healthy is to measure how long it takes to heal.(in this case) If your monitor has an impaired immune system, it may take a long time to heal, or not heal at all. Also consider, a monitors can feed and run around and still have an impaired immune system.

Also, only you knows what is going on. As this second post shows, you added stuff that was not in the first post, the reality is, there is much more that is not being mentioned here.

This is why a vet "examines" your monitor, and questions the keeper, in order to determine what, if any treatment is necessary.

For someone to give you medical advice without knowing(to examine) would not be of help to you, your monitor, or the person giving advice.

Remember, your decision is possibly a life or death decision. So make with careful consideration. Try finding some books on reptile medicine. Cheers
