Have two and youll reduce stress and you can just do a switcheroo everyday to disinfect. His caging whatever that may be does need to be sanitized everyday. Burns and even severe scale rot is hard to deal with. Betadyne, and silverdine treatments along with antibiotics tend to get the job done. But it is a painfully slow process. The vet whom told you it was some fungus..... Well I would never ever go there again.
x2 It concerns me that you aren't using anything to treat the burn itself, just the secondary infection (Baytril).
