Thorium recently went to the vet for a possible infection on his back and front left arm. He was diagnosed with a bacterial and fungal infection.
He was prescribed baytril for the bacterial infection and a mix of silvadene and lamasil AT for the fungal infection. The Baytril has helped significantly with the bacterial infection, but the final infection was getting worse. We've since started him on an oral anti-fungal prescribed by the vet. He seems to be responding slowly to the oral anti-fungal. He has however stopped eating (he won't even eat his favorite horworms!!!) We've since talked to the vet and we have in on Repta-Boost to help with calorie intake.
At first with the oral medications he fought us hard, but now he's accepted the meds. He's much faster to open up his mouth for the two meds and the force-feeding.
He looks like he's starting to turn around.
