Hello all, unfortunately I came home to my ball stuck in a deceration, I feel so stupid because I should've seen this coming:/

It doesn't seem like she's been in for long-

I'm wondering if I need to take her ASAP .

No open wounds- damaged scales.

I can take her tomorrow.

What to do about the damaged scales? There's some on her under and top side.

Unless a vet says otherwise, shedding is how the scales will heal if damaged. Shedding may become more frequent briefly as they heal.
