Something infect, or bite

[rison77]

Hey,
I have a 2 years old Panther Chameleon. In recent times, he got 2 interesting spot in her skin, and its shedding sometimes, just a spot, not the whole cham. Its like a burned scale or cricket bite, but im not sure. He is very active with a good appetite without any problem. I made a dropbox gallery for the pictures. Anyone have idea?

Hey, now he is finished the shedding. Now he got an empty hole, or an open wound? Anyone have idea? What can i do with this? Still very active, eating wery well etc.

Could've been a scab or damaged scale from a insect bite (unlikely) or if he hit something in his enclosure hard enough. Really hard to guess the cause. I would put a tiny amount of neosporin on the wound to help keep it clean and prevent infection. If it doesnt start healing or gets worse, consult a vet.

I vote Neosporin (no pain relief, just plain ointment) for now.. if it's an open wound, your priority should be limiting infection. If it gets worse or doesn't heal in the next couple weeks, take him in! Our vet said chameleons are notoriously slow healers, so it may take some time to see any results.

Thanks, i checked the med, but i think its not available in my country (Hungary). Is there alternative for this?

Neosporin is generally known as triple antibiotic ointment. You might be able to find that. Terramycin ointment might help also.
Silvadene (Silver Sulfadiazine) is also a good choice if it is available.

Its not growing, but he cant shed this part.
Should i go to the vet with this?
He is very active, no feeding problems, or anything.

Looks like an old scar..If it doesnt look infected , it should be ok.
Next time when you getting a fecal test with the vet , u can show it to them.as far as my concern , it just an old scar with the mark.
