bearded dragon infected skin or funges help??

[49ers559]

Hi AHBD thank you for you're advised it's not actually surgery there not gonna cut him open or anything there is like chucks of deadskin that is real hard and stuck to him there gonna remove that so all the fungus could be shown because under the deadskin is funges the vet said when someone came in with y.f they put the bearded dragon down because it was all over the head they haven't seen anything like mine's the good thing
Is it's not even close to his head it's on his back leg and under his tail making its way to the body...I'm gonna make sure they don't give me any kind of antibiotics I also heard it wasn't good for them it could just caused the fungus to spread..but when I take him Monday I'm gonna talk to the vet and ask him more questions about the surgery

I'm sorry about your poor beardie ! I just wanted to mention that I've never heard of a vet taking it off via surgery, and you say he has no experience withY.F. ? ....this may not help and may be extremely painful, I'm guessing. Please take the time to look at the cases of Y.Fungus in the infectious disease forum, there are posters with a lot of experience dealing with it. Dylanraven, who has posted here, may have some insight for you. Your vet not being familiar with it would make me very nervous. Please look at the threads I mentioned, or p.m. one of those posters who are successfully treating their dragons. The usual treatments are the ones that other posters here have mentioned, plus an oral med. called voriconazole. Antibiotics are not helpful and can be harmful, and some inexperienced vets prescribe them. I don't think a single poster's dragon had surgery [ correct me if I'm wrong ] .....just wanting you to be cautious. I hope the best for your poor beardie !

He looks much better there ! I'm glad they seem to have done a good job ! Will you be using the antifungal cream on that area ? Hopefully he's going to continue to improve. Y.F. is really tough to beat, so keep a strict eye on how he does. If you use antibiotics, you'll need to give him some probiotics like Benebac or Acidophiliz+ to restore the good gut flora that the antibiotics wipe out.
