He suffered thermal burn on half his body - sigh. But he's MUCH better now - he had been in shed mode when I left for London. When he gets like that, I don't pick him up. He was still shedding when I returned. (It figures into play that during my last move, his habitat thermometer went missing, and I never replaced it). So, I still didn't pick him up - by the time I DID, half his body was badly burnt on the underside - old heating pad is my best guess - sad face. I'm only glad I caught it when I did. So I go into complete PANIC mode, only to discover at 1AM, there are no emergency exotic vets on duty in Knoxville. So I had to wait a day - took him to UT Vet school - and they are FANTASTIC. Long story short - he's better - on antibiotic -to which I have to take him in every three days, since I can't hold him and give a shot at the same time. Ironic though, is the fact that they gave me silvadene for him - the EXACT same ointment that they gave me for my radiation burn. Right now, he's out basking next to his water bowl - and looking oh-so cute!!!
