Hello ER community,
I just bought a Bearded Dragon... I bought all the essentials... even the calcium which he's already had a few times. Last week he was shedding his skin and I noticed a small spot developing on his back almost on the edge of his underbelly, which I thought at first sight of it that it may have been a little bit of skin still hanging on but now it seems to be growing and I'm so stressed that there's something wrong with the poor little guy. Does anyone know what this could be and what my next step should be? I'm thinking vet obviously... as well as contacting the store where I purchased. Please see the photos attached. The spot/lump is hard (crusty) and it definitely seems to be subcutaneous. Did a very small amount of reading up on known BD issues and read that they can get abscesses and things like that. Does anyone know what this could be or maybe have experienced the same issue?
please help...
Very Nervous for the little guy!
