Dry Skin

herperboy Aug 10, 2003 09:16 PM

My uro recently shed. When he was done everything looked okay. A few days later I noticed he had some dry patches of skin on his head. So I just started soaking him alot but they kept getting dryer. Recently they started to come off. the little scale sized ones didnt wrry me but then a path on the side of his head came off and the wound was fairly deep. It stil didnt worry me too much.Tonight a patch under his neck came off and in a pinhead size space of the wound the skin was so thin you cuold almost see through. I need to know what is the best way to treat wounds and iff this i some kind of disease.
Thank You So Much
