Worried need advice

Staceymdavies · Aug 14, 2017

I have been terribly worried came off holiday to find my beardie rather lethargic. I thought he was having problems with a shed and bathed him. Noticed a yellow mark on him worried it is yellow fungal disease. He has discolouration and a semi white beard so worried about him. Took him to vets today and they prescribed a hibiscrub solution for the time being and was unsure so they contacted a specialist results waiting tomorrow. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help my bearded dragon whilst I await results.

Hopefully it's not yellow fungus. Can you post some photos of him? You can upload photos here https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ and post them to your thread using the XIMG button when you reply.

Thank you so worried

To me that looks like his back is going into shed aside from one patch which is showing natural yellow color, especially compared to the dull shedding skin next to it. It doesn't have the wounded, scabby look that YF would have which is encouraging.

I also think it looks like an uneven shed, not Y.F.

Thank you ever so much I have been going out of my mind with worry. I will keep using the hibiscrub that vet has given me. Can this make the lethargic and off food though. I am going to go and get his favourite worms and locusts today to see if he eats anything I can do to help with this shed xx

Shed can cause them to lose appetite sometimes. I think offering his favorite treats is a good idea. The shed should complete on it's own in time. If he likes baths you could offer him a warm soak but it's not worth the stress if he doesn't like baths.

Thank you I bathed him as he don't mind a bath and just applied his hibiscrub and he is eating not better. I think it because he has not been basking properly so I made some adjustments. The only thing that concerns me now is he has a semi white beard in one area

Alot better I meant

Sorry I know not really connected but can you tell me if this is a shedding issue or what it could be

CooperDragon · Aug 15, 2017

That's another shed patch. Nothing to be concerned about =)

Staceymdavies · Aug 15, 2017

Thank u it isn't loose tho like when he shed before it was loose skin this is like it stuck to him. Any idea what I can do I bath him loosen it up with hibiscrub and a soft bristled toothbrush but it not moving or coming off any ideas xx

I wouldn't mess with it. He should be able to shed it on his own. It will be stuck to his skin until the new skin underneath it develops completely then it will loosen and crack and come away.

He has had it a while that's why I have been worried lol. About a week and still not shed. He my baby so want to do everything right by him
