In my opinion, you have done the right thing in cleaning it and putting
her into a seperate enclosure. I don't think you need to see a
veterinarian.

Hopefully, someone will second my opinion so you will be at ease.

Subject: [gecko]wound care question
Late last night I discovered that one of my female leos had been bitten
on the head by one of her tank mates. They've since been separated, but
Ellipsis has a nasty looking wound on the top of her head (the bottom of
the bite is just a scratch). I cleaned it out with betadine and applied
neosporin. She's in a freshly cleaned tank by herself, on paper towels
with a moist hide and her regular rock and log hides, and a fresh water
dish. Cage temps are ~75 cool end, 82 warm end. She's still active.
It looks like the wound has stopped bleeding. I don't think she's near
shedding time, and she is otherwise healthy.=20
Unfortunately it's my regular vet's day off and I haven't had good luck
finding a reptile vet on a Saturday. Do I need to keep looking for an
animal hospital that will see her today, or is there anything else I can
do for her here until Monday? I've put up photos of her injury at
http://www.yemenwithtoast.com/knit/IMG_0082.JPG and
http://www.yemenwithtoast.com/knit/IMG_0085.JPG . Any advice
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Jessica and Ellipsis
