It seems I am having every problem in the book right off the bat!
Homestar over the past couple of days has started having a swelling of his vent. I kept an eye on it, changed the bedding, scrubbed down the tank, etc. (read that treatment in my book) and it seemed to get worse. I then started a treatment with an antibiotic ointment once a day, and have treated him twice. It is still swollen and oozing and isn't getting better. But I do notice that he kinda sucks it all back in when he's held. Maybe it's a prolapse of the hemipenes? I really don't know. I'll get a picture to you tomorrow. He did poop just fine the other day despite the swelling. Should I keep using the antibiotic treatment and change the bedding every couple of days instead of once a week until it gets better? Help!
