Meet the gang!

She was really calm that day when I was holding her, no musking, pooping or biting. She just wound up in a weird position, I guess. She did it again today, too. It was easy to see that she was alive, she'd fool no one with her little trick if she did it for that reason. She's move around a bit but stay on her back. Other than her doing that when she relaxes with me, she's a normal... Feisty little concinnus.

After reading Marnies post about Selena's mouth I remember seeing her open her mouth a couple times and I just noticed that her mouth is stuck open, however, I don't see anything in her mouth. Could I pu a little peroxide on a Q-tip an rub it in her mouth just tp make sure she's okay? I'd get a picture, but my camera's flash turns the picture 100% white.

I know I told you to get peroxide before Chantel but after using it for over a month, it only kept the wound from getting worse. It saw improvment but it wasn't healing. Then I read that peroxide can damage healthy tissue and that vets use chlorhexidine instead. I started using the chlorhexidine and the wounds healed quickly and completely. Yours probably have the same problem mine did. It's from biting each other in the mouth. It will only fester and get worse without treatment. The longer it's like that, the less likely the mouth will ever heal completely and seal shut properly.

Yes, I've known that for a few years now. When I got my lip pierced twice, they told me never EVER use peroxide or rubbing alcohol, because it would make it so that the scar tissue would swell up more. Needless to say, I didn't listen. I was being a stupid teenager and now I have 2 big lumpy craters in my lip... Lol.
What else might help? We, unfortunately, only have 5 dollars for the rest of the month so I cant buy anything. Is there anything I could use that I might have to help Thumbelina? It really seems uncomfortable for her. She continually opens and closes her mouth.

PM me with your address again. I can't seem to find it right now. I'll send you some medicine. You need to take care of this asap.

[kibakiba]

Okay. Thank you Richard. I'll see if I can give you some money next month for helping me.

I'm gelous

[kibakiba]

Why are you jealous?

[kibakiba]

I put a little peroxide on their mouths with a very tiny amount of antibiotic ointment for now. Squirt put up the biggest fuss, but after it was all done his mouth closed a bit more than it was on the side that was bitten. Thumbelina's mouth is swollen all the way around. I'll be getting the other medicine soon. I'm glad I have your help, I'm continually grateful to have found this forum and make such great friends

I just got the medicine for my babies. Thank you so much for sending it, Richard. I'm sure the babies will be grateful, too.

Neither liked me holding them tightly and rubbing the stuff on their mouth. Thumbelina shed yesterday and her mouth is sealed up more and the swelling seemed to have gone down more, but Squirt's mouth got extremely bad. It's worse than what Thumbelina's was a couple days ago. I made sure to get his mouth cleaned up but he started bleeding and biting me. I hope he'll be okay.

Richard, I used about an ounce of water and a few drops of the medicine, that would be enough right? It was a very slight pink colour like the instructions said. Can I save it and put some saran wrap on it, or should I just dump it out? I don't want to waste it if I don't have to.

Thanks again. It means a lot to me!
