Hey guys. It's been a week since I've taken Brock to the vet. I took him back for a follow up today and the vet had said that she think the yellow was worsening. I have some new photos which won't do that statement any justice because they removed the yellow to send in for samples to test for yellow fungus. Upon trying to take samples the necrotic (dead) part of his leg had fallen off. (GOOD!) However new complications have risen. A good 80% of his tail is now black :? I really hope that we don't have to remove his tail and I just can't understand how poorly he was cared for prior to me purchasing him. I don't want to publicly bash anyone but I will say that I personally will not be purchasing anything from http://www.backwaterreptiles.com/ again. He has now been prescribed a topical ointment called Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 1% (to be applied twice a day).
I'll attach some images of his leg (after having the yellow removed to be sent for samples) and his blackened tail:
