PLEASE HELP! Spots on Beardie’s Stomach
- Thread starter ccchonk
- Start date
Let me have some one take a look - it looks suspicious to me - I am going to flag to Tracie the vet tech on hereMy beardie is two and a half years old - she is going to the vet next week, but I’m terrified. She has these spots on her stomach, and I’m worried it’s something serious. What does this look like? I’m nervous it might be YFD.

I got a response back from one person I reached out to and she has said this
Sorry to say it looks like Y.F. [ Yellow fungus ] You can start putting Lamisil antfungal cream [ from your local drug store ] on it but having a good reptile vet check + do a skin scrape would be a good idea.
Please get the dragon in ASAP - www.arav.org try this website for a reptile vet type in a bigger cities zip code closest to you if your in a small town / area --- this will kill the dragon please get it treated immediately-- please keep me updated ---- make sure you have good surface basking temps taken w/ a digital probe thermometer and good UVB NO coils if you need links to those I will post --- this is going to help w/ the skin issues

Thank you - She has a vet appointment next Friday, but I’ll start the lamisil in the meantime. She has a tube UVB, and I’ll make sure to check the temps today too! Thank you againI got a response back from one person I reached out to and she has said this

where is the uvb? Brand and bulb? This makes a difference in placement and distance along w/ your screen -- we need this properly placed --- what kind of screen in on the tank fine mesh or a wide hole type and how old is the bulb?Thank you - She has a vet appointment next Friday, but I’ll start the lamisil in the meantime.

The UVB is a Reptisun T18 in a Zilla fixture placed over the top of a wide hole mesh screen in a tank a little over a foot high, should i try and mount it inside the tank? The bulb is probably about 6 months old.where is the uvb? Brand and bulb?

Replace the bulb now - please get it inside the tank take the clear plastic cover off the fixture leave it off place directly over the basking decor piece 6-8 inches- or take the screen off either way the bulb needs to be unobstructed - are you upgrading the tank here soon?

I’m looking to upgrade the tank as soon as I can, I’ll definitely get a new bulb soon! I already tore the plastic cover off of the fixture when I got it, but I’ll take the screen off as well.Replace the bulb now - please get it inside the tank take the clear plastic cover off the fixture leave it off place directly over the basking decor piece 6-8 inches- or take the screen off either way the bulb needs to be unobstructed - are you upgrading the tank here soon?

Thank you for all your help! Do you happen to have any idea how much the vet might cost?Ok the T 8 bulb is expired
All vets are different-- please call and ask about office visit and about testing for the YF -- tell them you suspect it and will need to have a scrape and cultured -- this is really important -- please NO bathing it will spread--Thank you for all your help!

Hello,
I am glad you are getting her to the vet. Is her appointment on this friday?
Are you using the lamisil right now to help? You can also look for some silver gel/topical to put on it
also. I believe it is most likely yellow fungus but hopefully you can get on it as soon as possible & she
will be able to fully recover.
Are you giving a probiotic also for her?
