What's going on with my bearded dragon

[stormtiger90]

She is missing a patch of scales on her front right leg, and now some of the scales on her back and coming off (it looks a bit like a scab

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

Get a vet appointment

 

[stormtiger90]

I'm taking her next week.

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

Let us know.

 

[stormtiger90]

I'm hoping it's nothing serious. I have no idea how she got the wound on her back

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

I'm thinking she has a parasite

 

[stormtiger90]

Would that cause that type of wound

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

Lack of nutrients if there is nithing sharp

 

[stormtiger90]

I was holding her before and noticed she has a tiny black dot just under her shoulder
Is that a mite or something. I couldn't see anymore

 

[PatsyB]

Looks like some sort of infection or something. Let us know what happens with the vet.

 

[stormtiger90]

Would mites cause this. Some of the scales on her back have come off as well.

 

[PatsyB]

Would mites cause this. Some of the scales on her back have come off as well.

I'm honestly not sure.

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

No

 

[stormtiger90]

Well she's been to the vets and even he had no idea what caused it. He thinks she may have had some trauma and it's just left some scar tissue behind.

Other than that she is fine and one of the prettiest bearded dragons he has seen

 

[PatsyB]

What did he say about her front leg? Wasn't your dragon the one that was limping with the scales coming off?

 

[stormtiger90]

Since she wasnt limping anymore he wasn't concerned about that. As for her scales falling off he had no idea what caused it

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

Did you run a fecal test?

 

[stormtiger90]

No he didn't do one

 

[jarich]

Possibly a burn. Due to the scales, you often wont notice burns right away. When the scales fall off it reveals the scar underneath though.

 

[stormtiger90]

He said she must've suffered some trauma and that was scar tissue I was seeing. But I don't get how she could've burnt herself
