How should I treat a sore on my anole?

Answer by  boonjax (205)

Where is the sore - is it on a part of your anole that is prone to injury. If this is the cause, simply cover it and keep it clean.

I don't want to scare anyone, but I do know that cancer can be the cause of a non-healing sore or ulcer. If it keeps growing get a vet to see it. The commonest cause is an infection and sometimes neosporin ain't enough - your anole may need oral medications/antibiotics.

Be very wary of an infection! An infection will have pus, look dirty and even may be painful. Use an antibiotic cream like neosporin few times a day. Make sure the water is clean as dirty contaminated water could make the infection worse.
