I don't know if I am being a hypochondriac, or there truly is something wrong with him. First he got that small sore on his face. It was round and looked almost like a burn. All the fur was missing and the skin was raw but not punctured. Now, the spot is much larger! He won't stop rubbing it with his paws. He's acting like it itches. I have been giving him benadryl and cleaning it and putting neosporin on it. I can't use an E collar. It is kind of his lower chin to neck area, so the collar would rub.
Also, his behavior is different. He's usually extremely hyper and unaffectionate. Now he is being calm and cuddly.
Also, he is licking EVERYTHING excessively. From his feet, to the carpet, to the couch, you name it.
On one hand, he seems fine and the spot doesn't look to bad. But on the other hand, he isn't being himself.
I have thrown money away more then once for no reason on my pets. The worst was when I spent $300 on all these tests on my bearded dragon because he wasn't eating. Everything came out fine and he ate the next day. Right now money is tight because of my shoulder surgery. I shouldn't take him unless I really have too.
Here are some pictures. The ouchie is actually bigger then what it came up in the picture. The part that you can see is where it is totally bare. The fur all around that area is wearing away. What do you think?
Roxy says she has to be in a picture too:
