On my Beardy left foot on his smallest toe. I noticed the scrape on Sunday morning, and it swelled up over the course of that day and has now begun to leak pus and some yellow substance. I’ve tried Neosporin and pure honey but it seems to be getting worse. I’m still not sure if I can make a vet visit and need to know how I can help him or is this is normal or an urgent issue.

Please get him to the vet --- www.arav.org type in a bigger cities zip code if your in a small area - keep putting the honey on it raw unfiltered like Manuka

Hello,

So the raw honey & antibiotic ointment hasn't helped yet? They definitely have specialized
skin/scales that trap bacteria between the layers. You might want to consider getting a vet visit
if it doesn't clear up.

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
