Hi Guys
Do ANY of you out there have animals with little yellow sores on them, like this:
(This is NOT one of my animals, but they do have the same thing)
If you do, the following reading IS A MUST!!
http://www.reptilerooms.com/Sections+index-req-viewarticle-artid-46-page-1.html
My vets did not recognise these 'sores' for what they were, Yellow Fungus Disease. And it CAN prove fatal to your beloved dragon.
This Fungus (YFD) is on 9 of the 24 dragons that were purchased from QLD. There was a 10th, but that was Foxtrot and she's no longer with us. (This is just another reason why, if you see an add for brightly coloured baby beardies for sale over the next few months - BE CAREFUL!! The seller of these 24 DO have this fungus in their collection!!)
I am now treating them with Betadine and Lamisil, and obviously these animals are continuing to be quaranteened.
I will let you all know how it goes, but I just felt that this was too important to not warn you all. And for those of you unfortunate enough to have YFD on your dragons, hopefully this can give you some answers and some info.
