Dundee

Read more of the replies and found the answer to my question... hehehe!
Urbana. I've been to Champlain before, stayed at a hotel modeled after a medieval castle. There were suits of armor and tapestries on the walls.

Great! So glad that he's doing better!

Not a whole lot to report. Dundee is still on his schedule and is up to about 432g. His mouth is healing but he is still coughing. He had a really great shed session today. Looks like a small dragon exploded on the carpet. Scales and spikes all over. He loved rubbing all over the carpet to help remove the sheds. He has more energy through the day and explores a bit. Will keep the routine going. Slowly but surely =).

D couldn't stay awake to help me with the forums tonight

Dundee has come a long way. He is looking great! How long was he locked in the building before he was rescued? At least he has you now.

such sweet little cutie pie! so happy he got sooo lucky with you!!

The latest is that the biopsy showed no cancer, just indications of stomatitis which was expected. The blood panel showed some high levels of bacteria but that was to be expected. Nothing else out of range (numbers available upon request). The bad news is that the mouth cultures showed a high level of fungus in addition to the bacteria which is being treated. They are going to continue to grow the culture to see what's going on and try to treat it further. In the meantime, little guy hung out on the back porch this evening.

Would a broad-spectrum antibiotic knock out the bacteria and the fungus? I'm curious as to what caused the fungus, and how the treatment for the bacteria is affecting it (if any). Poor little thing. He doesn't look like he's unhappy though! He looks quite content with you on back porch!

He has some neat colors! You are doing a great job with him. I'm really impressed with your dedication and willingness to go the extra mile for this little guy. He's lucked out finding you.

Hope the fungal culture comes back as something easily treatable or commensal.

 

[CooperDragon]

He has been on Baytril and Flagyl for a little over two weeks now and his mouth is still mucous filled and he still coughs, so I don't think the antibiotics are completely taking out what is affecting him. Hopefully the results of the fungal culture will come back soon and provide us with a new plan of attack.

Does this happen often to BDs? Fungal infections?

 

[CooperDragon]

I'm not sure. I hear of fungal skin infections on here a lot, but not fungal respiratory infections.

 

[brandymulvaine]

He looks so much better! I think you've achieved sainthood

 

[BabySkales]

any new pics of the lil trooper?

 

[CooperDragon]

Little guy had some energy and trashed his tank this morning. I let him out and he wandered around the house and has been camped in the kitchen for an hour or two now. I took the opportunity to steam clean his tank and bake his logs now that his antibiotics are done. Still waiting for the anti fungal medication to arrive. Here are some pictures of him camping out in the kitchen (taken about a minute ago).
