Hello all,
Today I noticed that my veiled, Rosie, has these light discolorations with black spots on her one side. There are also little blister-like areas of her shed - she just started shedding recently - but they’re dry. The discoloration and spots are not raised.
I’m concerned that it is a burn or a fungal infection, and I’m hoping it’s a bruise from her rubbing on branches while shedding.
She’s had some health issues before - two eye issues which were flushed and treated with antibiotics, and a respiratory infection and parasites when we first got her that were also treated. She’s about ~3 years old now, and she lives in a 2x2x4 reptibreeze with live plants and a T5 22” 6%. Her basking temps stay around 80 degrees, and ambient is around 60-65. Humidity during the day is variable, but right now is probably around 30-35%, and at night we aim for 90-100% humidity with a temperature drop below 65. I can add more info about her diet and such if necessary.
I’m very stressed about the idea that it might be a fungal infection, particularly CANV. If it does turn out to be fungal, what’s the best course of action? Our exotic vet is pretty good but I’d like to be able to suggest the current best treatment/testing in case they’re not up and up on it.
Thanks!
