Hi everyone. I'm concerned about my bearded dragons health. I first noticed the issue 7 days ago and immediately took him to the vet. His whole body was rigid and he was very very weak. He was unable or too weak to move his back legs. His eyes were sunken. A chunk of skin came off this foot at the vet, the size of that red spot. Vet prescribed 14 days of oral and topical antibiotics. The following day, he seemed stronger, and for a while it looked like he was getting better. The stiffness went away except in his longest toe on that foot. He shed a chunk on his knee where it is lighter, and out of caution I've been applying antibiotics there as well. I gave him a bath and brushed him all over with a fine toothbrush, during the bath the darkness on his knee seemed to wash away, and it is now a very light area.
Here is an image of his leg. It is cool to the touch, and the whole foot feels very stiff.

His beard is very black and has been since the issue began, although it does look lighter today.
He used to have no issue getting around his terrarium, but now he struggles to climb his perch, though he does manage.
I adopted Trip from the humane society in November, they had no idea what his health condition was, as they found him in an abandoned house. I had him tested and treated him for pinworms within a week. He had just finished treatment for Coccidia when this started.
