Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

yellow fungus in uromastyx
Does anyone have any good info on yellow fungus in uros. I think a couple of our uros might have the start of it. Ive read you can soak them in dilute betadine and put lamisil on it or give oral iatrocolozole, Im not sure which route would be best. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Itraconazole is usually the best route since you may be dealing with internal fungus as well as external fungus. The important thing to do is to start treating it asap. for fungus, ive taken cotton swabs and "painted" the infected areas on the skin with betadine. If you want to bathe them, try using a diluted nolvasan solution, although it i believe the betadine painting method works better. Either way you need to take them to the vet to the meds so see what they say as well with this kind of situation. They may want to biopsy it too to confirm that it actually is yellow fungus. Fungus is something that is still difficult to treat in reptiles, though every year they seem to be uncovering more and more info about the different types and how to treat them.

I wasn't too excited about having to bathe them so your alternate method sounds good. I am actually in the middle of my third year of vet school and unfortunately even at our school there aren't any reptile specialists. Im going to start the betadine and Itraconazole, and if no signs of improvment do a biopsy and try to find out exactly what's going on. I hate to put them through the stress of a biopsy when they have been doing so well... Thanks for your help.
