Mike, that article has been update with more info since I first worte it back then.
Fortunately, this disease(s) has declined in the past 2 years now. Although the yeast type not only are easy to clear, now owners can reduce to possibility of their dragons getting it if they administer probiotics when using antibiotics on them.
The one type that is the mold fungus, continues to be very tough to treat. The oral meds available are just so harsh on the dragon's kidneys, they often are causing more damage than cure, so only used if it is felt the dragon will be terminal without them.
There is some promise and decent results coming from using grapefruit Seed extract in cleaning it. info on that can be found on beautifuldragons.com
