Last week we noticed that it looked as if he had caught his jaw with his claw. He always uses his claws to push food around to the front of his mouth. It looked a little swollen and a scale looked to have been lifted slightly.
We bathed him twice a day and now the scale has fallen off and looks almost back to normal,
however, his lower right hand side jaw still looks swollen and when he opens his mouth wide, you can see that the connecting skin between his upper and lower jaw is bleeding. As he uses his claw to move food, it worsens the bleeding. Never to the point of it actually bleeding drops of blood though.
I have also noticed him struggle once his mouth is open wide to close it again. Almost as if as he has to align the jaw before it will shut?
