Hi looking for some advice /others people's experiences with this pleas thanks
ok so 8 year old male beardie, his shed wasnt great this time, a lot seemed caked on . i noticed a weird sort of growth in his beard where it hadnt shed , looked possibly fungus like or could have just been deep embedded shed collections bt i went at it with tweezers and cleaned itup and its hard to know . it doesnt look too bad at all now
beardie is very healthy /bright/alert/eating fine , good set up ,correct uv and temps etc , lives on his own
so i dont know what to do , im panicking that itc ould be yellow fungus (not shed well in other patches) . he is actually creamy yellow coloured most time,so its hard to see
i dont know what to do , in terms of vets, i dont have much money but can afford a couple of hundred (my circumstances are very difficult ) , and of course i want to do best for him
with yellow fungus, and fungus in general there is WILDLY different results and claims, from vets and people who been through vet treatment with the vet
some say they ver likely be dead in 12-18 months regardless, othjers have very good results with treating themselves , things like grapeseed extract, iodine , creams ,coconut oil, and coloidal silver . like its totally reversed the issue in many people's dragons
this is different from blasting the dragons system with oral and injections etc - which this approach seems to simply keep the drago going a bit longer, suffering ,and shedding hundreds and hundreds of pounds
I had very poor advice from the only exotic reptile vet in past and it turned out he was very wrong, my beardie was just brumating (he was about to sanction opening him up etc)
so im torn , of course only want the best for him, but i dont have money for both approaches
my feeling is i want to first of all get fungus ruled out as priority obviously, but if it is , can i then treat myself, or am i forced to go down their route (which seems to have much less success looking loads and loads into this online)
this yellow fungus, anyone else had experience? is it 100%fatal ? or almost always ?
or other fungus, and it is much more treatable etc?
and scale rot comes up a lot online too, could be that, is that much more treatable, or equally as dangerous / same thing as yellow fungus just diff name ?
the latter stages of yellow fungus look horrific, i could never put him through that
any advice appreciated many thanks
