Scale rot/ yellow fungus

[HeliosTheBeardie]

Help ease my mind… what does this look like to you? We have a vet appt on Monday.
Husbandry is as near to perfect as can get in conjunction with vets advice, she just went through a round of baytril( intramuscular injection) for a suspected GI tract infection and I have noticed this recently. I thought it was shed at first but it seems very bright for shed and the middle black scale concerns me. Any advice until we get home to my vet on monday?

Nice set up ! Just watch out that she doesn't snag a nail on the mesh hammock, it's not uncommon. So your dragon's behavior that you listed is actually common in dragons carrying eggs. The restlessness, glass surfing, straining to poo [ sometimes they make multiple small ones a day ] are all possible indicators. Be sure to have a laybox handy, if you're traveling she may use her hide but it's best to have an actual laybox. And I agree that getting a small tube of Lamisil just in case would be good for the little spot on her side.

Good to know,,, would you know where I could get some Lamisil that would be safe for her or what I ask for at the drugstore? I know it’s marketed for human antifungal but I’m not sure exactly what to buy.

Yes, it's the type you get at the drug store.

Thank you. I will try that and I will update again when we see my vet Monday in case anyone else has experienced this. Thanks everyone for all the advice. She is very loved and I tend to always fear the worst.

Is this the right kind? Does it need to be diluted at all?

 

[AHBD]

Yes that's it. No dilution needed.

Final update as of 1/14/22

She’s doing great! The vet said the yellow spots weren’t concerning but I can continue to use the Lamisil if they grow or get darker, but as she’s going into shed, I hope she’ll just shed it all off. Thank you to everyone for the advice. We are finally home and she is happy

Good to hear it ! That tiny spot doesn't look like anything much and will probably not be a problem at all.
