I have 2 savs: 1 wc, a little over 2 feet long around 8 months old and the other is cb, 2 feet long around 8-9months old. A month ago, the cb escaped was missing for 5 days. I eventually found him and he appeared to be in good health(he still had his appettite & was still very active). Over the weekend I noticed some bruising on his 'lips'. It appeared that he busted his 'lips' while attempting to escape again. He hasn't been eating but is still very active. I'm not sure if he's not eating because of his bruises or if its something else and starting to worry. This is the 1st time I've experienced this probllem since I've had them (about 7 -8 months now). I spoke w/the pet store a got him from and they told me to put some antibacteria med (IE neosporin, etc) on the cuts to prevent infection. My wc sav is fine(I always seperate them at feeding time) and the enclosure conditions are fine. Has anyone else experienced this before/any advice on how to get his appetite back to normal?

Thanx in advance.....
