Here is an updated photo of Lt. Dan's vent/cloaca. I can't say that the vent problem is over and he's back to 100%.
A few days ago Lt. Dan spent a few hours in a shed box since he had some debris (probably fecal and urate material along with some substrate)
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate this problem at a 3. In my opinion any problems in the cloaca area can turn bad very quickly due to all the fecal matter that passes over the injury or infection site.
I have been very impressed with Hibiclens ability to quickly clear up infection in the lip area so I decided to try it at the other end
I'm treating Lt. Dan twice a day this being day 3 and I must say it appears to be working well.
Lt. Dan has stopped fighting and musking me when I pick him up. Even during treatment he is calm.
