Yet more Quinn pics

Postby Lucifer_Spades » Thu Mar 06, 2008 3:59 pm

Now these are before cleaning so they look a little worse than some of the others but this is about as bad as she looks anymore.

First The required face shots.
Image
Image


This one shows some of the flaky skin that is between the toes, it's not shed it's almost like exzema but it has to be because of the shed build up.
Image


And this one shows one of the biggest patches of raw skin that was exposed under some parts of the shed. It's a bit hard to see but it's the white patch on the "heel" of the footpad.
Image

All in all I think she is going to heal up well. It's still a long road to go but I think the really hard part is over. I'm scaling back to just 1-2 cleanings a day instead of every couple hours, as to allow scabbing to form so it can heal properly.

I will keep up with the pictures though so I can look back when she is healed and remember where she came from. I almost want to do one of those photo morph things when it's all done so you can see the healing process. :lol:

IT'S WORTH IT!!! She is such a sweetheart. Even with all the poking, prodding, picking, scrubbing, peeling,washing, q-tipping, stinging liquids, eye drops, and sticky gooping, she wouldn't do more than huff and hiss. She is a bit touchy about her feet now but I expected that when i started pulling the shed off and exposed those raw patches. But otherwise she will sit there quietly with her eyes closed as I scratch and pet her head.

I'm sure she'll soon be a favorite on the forum, and she'll be a raving beauty ;D

Skinkys are so mellow~ I bother mine all the time and it just sits there ^_^

I poke his toes, prod his nose, keep moving him around-- he doesn't care >_<

And the fact that he is oh-so portable makes it better >_<
I brought him to a restaurant with me once. He stayed in my hoodie pocket the whole time dozing ;D

I have to say the one thing my skinks are not is mellow. They're nice, and my tannies have great temperament considering they're tannies, but none of my guys are mellow. I can't wait to get a shingle and compare personalities. Although if my pattern keeps up, it'll be a devil ^.^ My tannies are nice, my northern is nasty, so a shingle would have to end up as a disguised serial killer. :lol:

Good Job Luce!! :D
you can see the improvement already :)

isn't it incredible, an animal treated so badly by people still doesnt bite you, maybe Quinn knows you're helping her not hurting her :D
