The owner has been cleaning with dilute betadine but with no improvement, so I am suspicious it may have progressed to osteomyelitis.

&lt;p&gt;I saw the gecko again today, the original lesion mid- arcade had gone and there was a whitish discharge (not caseous) in R and L fauces, as well as some crusting bilateral nasal discharge.&amp;nbsp; He is now eating on his own (crickets) and getting really cross at having his mouth prodded! I swabbed the white discharge and sent to Pinmore for C and S, but didn&amp;#39;t do rads as the jaw doesn&amp;#39;t seem to be affected.&amp;nbsp; Also, the tip of his tongue is dark reddish, but I honestly can&amp;#39;t say if it was when I saw him originally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They have him in a viv with 3 temperature zones and moist hide, where he goes and sheds (last shed 2 wks ago). The temperatures were slightly low (21-25 C max) so i&amp;#39;ve told them to increase.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;s fed crickets, dusted with nutrobal. He looks in good body condition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks, &lt;/p&gt;

You can use marbocyl injectable given orally at 10 mg/kg. can you elaborate on the husbandry a bit. Some ibaflin gel on he lesion helps twice daily

Goodluck

Edit and if finances allow a bit of sedation and jaw radiography wouldn&amp;#39;t hurt ;-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
