It’s getting worse everyday HELP!?!

Yeah you've gone above + beyond for her ! Just let it be for now, are you still using the Exo Terra MVB ? I can't remember if you had the 125 or 160.

The hindering part I thought of too, because at one point she was shedding beautifully (healthy looking shed) and then all of a sudden it’s like the shed re attached to her body and latched back on and has been stuck ever since. But idk which product did it.

You have a beautiful beardie! Just a simple thought: let things be for at least a week with no interventions on your part. Nature, many times, takes care of itself. Too many interventions can cause problems. It's not easy to let things be, but sometimes, nature is the best healer.

Hello,

You have definitely tried a lot of things! I agree with AHBD, sometimes letting things be for awhile to
see how things go. Is she eating very well right now?
I know it is frustrating, sometimes they can sure have a lot of skin issues, but most of the times it will
eventually clear up.

It’s the 160 but I think I’m just going to replace all of her bulbs all at the same time and make sure I write the date down. That way I can keep track much easier and at least that way I know her bulbs will be working at their full potential. However, the skin issue seems to have caused issues around her eyes and one of her eyes looks like it might have an infection. I am just really at a loss as to what to do to help her. Do you think it’s safe to use this on her skin?

Oh, she definitely eats like a horse. There’s no doubt about that. Lol but she just seems very shaky when she walks in her enclosure but outside of her enclosure, she seems to walk just fine what I did notice is a residue and a weird coating on her sticks, and I’m not sure if that could potentially be what keeps causing the reoccurrence of the skin issue or what because I did scrub them in hot water and disinfectant that’s made for cleaning there enclosures and then I also baked them in the oven and then a couple of days later I steam cleaned them along with the rest of her enclosure but yet last night I saw the weird discoloration and a coating on them again, along with on her rocks. The skin discoloration has reached her eyes also and her left eye seems like it could potentially have an infection, but I don’t know.

Can I use this on her skin? And maybe use it to steam clean her enclosure?

I wouldn't use anything else at all for now. Not that for sure, and her cage decor is fine.

Hello,

Just wondering how everything was going? I agree, I would just steam clean in the tank, to help keep
it clean. I don't have any experience with that skin/wound cleaner but if you did try it out, use it very
sparingly.
They have delicate skin/scales & using too much on them can mess up their scales.

I’ve backed off with all of the products and have been adding colloidal silver to her baths and washing her with with a toothbrush gently. Her eyes keep shedding/peeling/crusting and I’m not sure why. I’ve been spraying vetericyn on her periodically and using repti eye rinse but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything to help. However, we have found that we may have a significant mold issue in our house and I’m wondering if that could be what’s been causing her skin issues??

 

[Drache613]

Hello,

That is a definitely possibility, mold can be a problem. I would continue to try & keep her skin clean.
Is the skin underneath of the shedding areas, looking any better?

Hello,

I had forgotten to ask if you have gotten a skin test/culture to try to diagnose more speciically
on any skin issue?
