O.k. Sooooooo my hedgehog kipper recently got a very tiny red bump a little bit above his nose.
He's gotten 2 bumps in the past: One under his chin, and the other on the right side of him inbetween his two legs. When he gets the bumbs, ill normally use (regular strength) neosporin to help clear the bump. Normally kipper will lick the spot so no more medicine is there (which i don't really mind because the bump ends up clearing after a couple days.)
Back to the main point. Now when i try to put neosporin on his new bump, he'll lunge out and try to bite the q-tip with the medicine on it. Kipper will make noises that I rarely here him make, such as clicking, and this other hard-to-describe sound. I'm thinking he doesn't like medicine (or anything) near his face, and thats why he's getting so aggresive. However, that's kinda a guess, and I would like to have some more reassurence. Thanks-/
