Late last night I discovered that one of my female leos had been bitten on
the head by one of her tank mates.  They've since been separated, but
Ellipsis has a nasty looking wound on the top of her head (the bottom of the
bite is just a scratch).  I cleaned it out with betadine and applied
neosporin.  She's in a freshly cleaned tank by herself, on paper towels with
a moist hide and her regular rock and log hides, and a fresh water dish.
Cage temps are ~75 cool end, 82 warm end.  She's still active.  It looks
like the wound has stopped bleeding.  I don't think she's near shedding
time, and she is otherwise healthy.

Unfortunately it's my regular vet's day off and I haven't had good luck
finding a reptile vet on a Saturday.  Do I need to keep looking for an
animal hospital that will see her today, or is there anything else I can do
for her here until Monday?  I've put up photos of her injury at

Thanks,

-Jessica and Ellipsis
