I don't want to speak out of turn but that looks like a trauma injury. The vet has ruled out an underlying infection. I can't imagine how this could be caused. I am not familiar with Stars but feel sure if this had been caused by an experienced vet performing simple worming procedure one of us would have heard of it happening before. I would do as Sandy suggested and contact Andy Highfield. Also try to get hold of Egyptian Dan.
