Major improvement! The swelling came down and I was able to properly wash the area. There was dirt that I couldn't get at because of the swelling. There is a chance that he might come out of this intact. He is certainly going to feel more comfortable right now. I am soaking him again and cleaning his tank. He should be able to sleep comfortably.
This is now more of a situation than an emergency. I do have to make sure he doesn't develop an infection. So he gets cleaned two or three times a day until I feel sure he is safe.
I am starting to feel like Barrie really could get back to his old self.
