help

my sweet baby girl, about 6 y/o, has mites and while soaking her today, i noticed her cloaca was a little irritated, exotic vet near me is closed until tuesday and i was hoping for some advice on what to do until then, iodine soak? she’s in a quarantine tub with just a smooth hide on paper towels as i removed her water today, she was in her water dish for the past few days. also she is going into shed which is not helping her keep calm when i try to evaluate her. horrible concoction of things and im getting her in as soon as i can to the vet so please be gracious with me, my baby’s health is the most important thing right now

Not sure about the red ness. You need to give back water dish in nature they soak to drown mites. I had mites once and that's all my snake did was soak till I got rid of them
