It will be hard. Ive called all the local pet stores and feed stores. They all don’t carry lice silk worms. But I know there has to be a breeder or something on island because my dad used to feed his chams silk worms. Good idea I will look into that further.
Neither. He said it was probably a laceration from a cricket. So I am giving him antibiotics starting tomorrow twice a day and will be monitoring his activity, eating/drinking.
I took him to the vet today. They cleaned out the pus and the wound. Gave him a antibiotic injection in his front leg, and gave me antibiotic drops for him to take orally.

I know I feel terrible... I just really can't afford the treatment from the vets. I have no idea how much it would cost if he needs to be put under anesthesia, they only told me how much it would cost to look at him which was around $200. He is a rescue, I found him in my front yard. I am just...
We do have exotic vets here, but extremely expensive. I would have to pay around $200 just to get the vet to look at him. Is there anything that I can give him at home or do? I've been calling vets all day yesterday and this morning. They all said they would need to see him. I even asked if they...
