Unfortunately I think my little Oscar has yellow fungus.(right under the base of his tail) I've been reading on here and I saw that one cause is from being on an anti-biotic for a long period of time. He's been on Baytril for a little over a month for treating a problem with his foot. The yellow area is on the same side as his foot. I also put SSD ointment on his foot every night. I feel these are the culprits. I've seen many different treatments, monistat, lamisil, witch hazel, betadine, novalsan, etc.
He's in the middle of beginning to shed again. He just finished last week. He's 3-4 months old and 12 inches long. He eats a lot. 20-30 dusted crickets a day. Occasionally waxworms and/or mealworms. Not to great with veggies. He wont eat them on his own so I puree them and add his herptivite to it. He doesn't like it on his crickets. And he eats the puree off a spoon or from a dropper.
I guess what I am getting too is what is the best for treating this since I know its not internal. Should I just get a fungal cream? when bathing him what ratio should I add the betadine or novalsan to his bath? Or is the another one I could use? Or should I just apply it directly? He's mostly yellow so I'm not sure if he has it anywhere else.
This is his foot. Ignore the color it was just dipped in a Iodine solution.
