Just wanted to post this up for informative reasons, my bearded dragon has come down with a case if yellow fungus in and around his vent area.

There's not a whole lot known about this condition, but when you see it on the outside around the vent, its usually a result of reasons internally. He's quite old...he's a rescue I've had for over 2 years, and at that time, his previous owner said she'd had him for 5-6 years, so unfortunately there's a chance that this is a result of his immune system just starting to wind down with age.

Its tricky to treat. Oral antibiotics tend to wipe out a lot of gut flora that keeps things like coccidea in check, so the use of those could just lead to other complications. Per www.beautifuldragons.com, topical treatments are the first thing you want to try before going to internal treatments.

I stripped out his cage completely, disinfected everything, and replaced his substrate with newspaper thats changed daily. Once a day, I'm giving him Nolvasan baths and I'm going to begin topical lamisil treatments tomorrow.

Wish him luck, I hope he can pull through. I'll keep yall updated on his progess.
