If you had all of the money in the world, what would the vet do to treat Podge?

he would give him the proper medication and a antibiotic cream and a blood test and we would go from there we also possibly would need to get test's done to detirmine if his liver has been damaged and/or if its strong enough to handle the strong antibiotics we also need that blood test wich is $107 dollars to see weather he has kidney damage or internal problames or any parisites making havoc in his internal organs and we need $40 for the antibiotic cream to go on his sores wich we dont have , so I dont know what to do

Well that must be quite scary!

I just looked at your help podge site and you may want to set up a paypal account in order for people who are willing to help send donations.

You should probably have your mom help you with this.

Hello,

I am sorry to hear about Podge.
When are you getting your results back for the skin culture or fecal?
For the skin, you can get some Thermazene which is silver cream. It is very good for treating skin problems/fungus. You can get that from amazon.com
An antifungal cream is a good idea as well, such as lamisil.
Please post some pictures of him for us.
Are you using a UVB light, & if so, what type or brand is it? A fluorescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?

He really doesn't look too bad.

His refusal to water could simply be because they don't really drink orally all the time. Have you tried giving him a bath?

Also, what is on the floor of his cage? Is it sand?

Finally, show your Mom the things that DRACHE said to get. Those are creams that are used for treating fungus. They are typically available on the store shelves.

Overall, I don't think that your dragon is going to pass away. He looks pretty healthy. He just has a fungus problem.

Hello,

The cream is not very expensive, so do try to get the lamisil antifungal cream. Also, bathe him daily, in fresh water, and if you can find some betadine, get that also. Dilute it until it resembles weak tea & put that in the bath water to help clean his skin.
What do you mean that he has lumps on him? I did not see that in the picture.
What is he eating right now?

Can you get some baby food like chicken or turkey & some squash baby food to feed to him right now? You can also use a plastic dropper or plastic syringe to get some oral fluids into him as well.

Let us know how he is doing.

O thank you so much you have been the most helpfull persone here I'm putting betadine on him at the moment havent tryed it in his bath but I will do that and the lumps are in his belly area there the size a bit larger then a pea on his belly they can only be felt he has had them for a while and he is going to have the fecal today if he poops :/
since I gave him some stronger antibiotics he seems to have got a little bit of his apitite back but not eating as much as he should i'm wondering if he has a tomor in his belly becuse he always seems to be bloated and he always seems to have those lumps I'm worried about him but yes thank you so much about the baby food idea I'm going to try that and hopefully that will give him a boost and we can start on the right track thank you very very much and what do you think of juice ? is that any good to get vitamin c in ? thank you you are so very helpfull will let you know what the test result's are
