Is it a clear crusty or a dirty looking crusty? What your describing sounds more like the clear version, which wouldn't be mights but, more of a weepy skin irritation. Maybe some kind of allergy. It is still best to have your vet verify what kind of issue this is. Good luck.

I always used the running water therapy. Especially in the spring, summer and early fall. In the winter time I opted for the cold pack method, but I used older, heavy, terry towel material. Another option, though a bit messy, is to use a section of inner tube and chilled oatmeal inside of the inter … Read more

I'm from the old school of horsemanship so my answer may too broad or simple for some folks. I spent several hours walking my horse in the middle of the night, when I was young, waiting for the vet to come help my best friend. Colic can be prevented by learning what causes it and … Read more

I agree with all that's been said ao far,but I would like to add one more thing.

It sounds like your little friend may have developed an infection or attracted a fungus. Contact the store that you got him from, describe the situation. And ask if they carry a rub on remedy that will help. I had a similar problem with a lizard that was in the beginning stages of shedding. The … Read more

He has to be ready to stop and to ask for help himself. Until then nothing will stop him, and you can't make him stop. Even people who go to prison or jail aren't cured just because they can't use in there. It takes treatment and a lot of hard work to quit and stay … Read more

The most binding way to do this is to file through the juvenile or family court in your state and or county. The only other way that I am aware of is to have a written or typed contract of temporary care between yourself and the party you are sharing care with.
