Hi all,
Our Mickey is a young dragon (< 6 months old) that came to us with eye trauma early January. When he was at the pet store a larger dragon got into a tussle and poked at his right eye. The other day I noticed as some of his last shed was coming off and a right eye looking back at me through some scar tissue!
That fear started to turn to dread when that other retained shed started coming off and his skin was bright yellow. While Mickey is typically yellowish (a pale yellow), this area was a VERY yellow color. Is this "yellow fungus" that I've read about?
We are seeing an exotic vet on Friday, but I thought I'd get y'all opinion on what it could be.
I'm new to owning a dragon. So for reference, Mickey currently lives alone in a typical starting bearded dragon kit that I'm slowly trying to make better as I read and learn more. He has a healthy appetite of mealworms, waxworms, and greens, loves his two UV lamps (one of each type) and his rock perch, has healthy looking poops, and seemingly a normal amount of energy when he runs around.
Do you all think I'm being overly worried, does his skin look bad as a residual from the trauma, or do you think something else is going on that I didn't see?
Thank you!
