Well it's been two months now and Rex is all healed up. There is just a scar there and a very tiny bump from the way it healed. He looks great and his temperament has greatly improved. When I was still giving him his meds I almost lost a finger. I pulled my hand back in enough time, but did get sliced. Was like a 2 inch deep paper cut. I noticed when he eats he gets food stuck on the side of his mouth. Probably what caused the abscess to begin with. I have to get it out so it doesn't happen again.
Many thanks to everyone for your help. I know Rex appreciates it.

Great news for Rex. The food sticking to the side of his mouth wouldn't have done that. It MUST start as a wound such as a small scratch, scrape, or losing a tooth. If stuck food did that - every iguana in iguana land would be walking around with abscesses... O.o

Hey there Rex and Tonia, glad you are feeling better Rex!! I've been thinking about this guy, and was hoping that nothing tragic happened to him. I'm glad to know that he is doing MUCH better! Could you post his before picture and his after picture of his abcess and wound please  Also I wanted to mention when you get bit by an animal it is MUCH worse to try and pull your hand away then if you actually got bit. I've been bit MANY times and pulling away sometimes causes most of the damage. Just a heads up from experiance. I'm really glad he is doing much better though. Don't forget to reply and post some pictures and information with him. |
