Unfortunately, I ended up putting Dodger to sleep at my follow-up appointment. When I made my initial appointment I thought they had scheduled me with the vet who had tons of experience with Beardies, but I ended up seeing someone else. She looked him over and was going to send me home with some...

He seems to be getting better. I'm hoping when we go back to the vet we get good news. No skin scraping. She wanted to address the more severe issues first (the caked on shed and open subcutaneous and muscle tissues). SSD (Silver Sulfadiazene)

I didn't have them do blood work because it would have been $160. So I don't know that it's in his system. And I believe injected antibiotics are better than oral.

I am about to give up. I feel like my bearded dragon is suffering. I got Dodger in May 2015, and he was bout 3 months old or so. In about July or August of '15, I noticed his tail/near his bottom was discolored. Like he wasn't shedding right. I waited through a couple sheds, but it wasn't...
