I am glad to say that after more than a week of looking really, really grotty Ziggy's sheath and navel (just in front of the sheath) are almost back to normal.
We still don't know what caused it though I do suspect the Sudocreme, but at its worst it was swollen, scabby, and peeling to show red soreness beneath. Horrid! But warm salt water compresses, benign neglect and a bit of aloe vera gel did the trick. Today his sheath was smooth and black and the area around his navel only has one or two scabs left.
He is a very resilient little pone. And he really enjoyed his warm compresses :giggle:
