I'm finding vets are like salesmen in lab coats. Kanra's (my kitten) vet told me she had fleas despite the fact that I am allergic to them, she is short haired and swims in the bath water with my GF and forced me to buy a month of flea meds almost tried to sell me 3 months after I said no. After her second visit for the deworming I haven't been back to him nor will I return
I don't trust many vets anyway. She was given Baytril for an Upper Respiratory Infection (That's reoccurring every winter and thought about Reptaid XL). I'm going to try and see if this helps her immune system. She's real picky eater. She barely touches red bell peppers. Hates them. But recently, she's been eating them like crazy. Apart from the picky eater, every year, she gets sick. I contributed it to the changes in weather and all. She fought an infection off once, then the second time around, she was really sick. Sneezing, wheezing, coughing. I diagnosed her as having an URI before the vet. I recognized the symptoms. She was on Baytril for about two weeks and four days. 14 days. She was cured of it and bounced back. Then shortly later, she had a fall off the chair. She bounced back after that. No problems. Then she fell onto her back later on, and didn't bounce back. She had a sore back, wasn't eating, and then got mouth rot. I managed to treat her for that. The plaques were coming out one by one. She still has a plaque, but it's not spreading or anything. It's just dead tissue. I can't remove it without making her bleed. The girl doesn't need to bleed. She chomped on it several times, making it bleed. Ouch I know.
Then a yellow spot started to form. I thought: Maybe it's dirt or something. I tried to scrub it off with some warm water and a tooth brush. No such luck. It didn't come off. I started researching what it could be. I found dragons with yellow spots and it was yellow fungus disease. It's deadly and high contagious to other dragons and reptiles. It's hard to get rid of and I might have to replace all of her decorations or soak them in bleach, then air them out in the sun. I've been battling this fungus from April 11th to present.
It's also spreading, but not all over her body. I cleaned her body with Betadine solution- didn't soak her this morning too cold. So I dabbed it. A clear white piece of skin shed off today after dabbing. I'm guessing that's a good thing! I hope.
