I've had my bp in to the vet because there was a bit of blood with her shed. He identified a 'bad scale' on her vent. It's looked the same since then (months ago) and now I'm seeing the same brownish spots on other scales on her belly. I don't have a pic yet but I'll get some tonight hopefully. I wondered if anyone has any pics of early stages of scale rot. My vet is away til next week so I can't call him. A friend of mine advised me to wait until there's something wrong before dragging her to the vet again. I'm still new to this (i've had her for a year) so I'm afraid I won't be able to identify when something IS wrong. Please advise.
