Mouth rot

How can i avoid this from happening in my sailfin? Binili ko na po sya with severe mouth rot, labas na ang ipin, talagang napabayaan na ng nagbebenta, nung nilagay ko nga sa enclo nya uminom kagad ng madaming tubig. Marami pa dun binebenta sa binilhan ko pero sya talaga pinili ko hoping to nurse him/her back to health, nakita ko sa pics ni sir tattoo naka leash yung sailfin nya, pano po kung juvy pa lang? Di pa sya kasya sa leash, dun ko muna nilagay sa malaking bird cage..

bad idea yang cage. lagay mo siya plastic or glass enclo. lagyan mo ng betadine na nasa cottonball ung nguso niya then diin diin mo. then use saline solution or water with salt sa bibig niya after every feeding. avoid fruits or maamoy na food para di dapuan ng insects at mainfect ung mouth niya. advisable din pakain siya ng madaming veggies at superworms para tumaba siya and therefore magsheshed siya. if treatment goes well, after every consecutive shedding aayos ung nguso niya. applyan mo lang ng betadine after magshed.

p.s. i salute u for buying him/her for d sake of treating the lizard.

Thanks po, kung pede lang sana lagyan ng band aid eh..

no prob. just update us sa health nya hehe

Ok sir, will definitely update you, maghahanap na ako bukas ng bagong paglalagyan sa kanya

post pics bro para makita natin ang actual condition nya ...

Sailfin Dragon Caging
"A 30- to 40-gallon aquarium is adequate for a single young lizard up to 16 inches long. I recommend a visual barrier on all sides of the tank except for the viewing side, and even then a 4- to 6-inch-tall barrier across the front wouldn’t hurt. The barrier helps to avoid the common nose-rubbing that occurs with these lizards.

After the dragon's juvenile stage passes, larger enclosures are necessary. Keep larger juveniles and adults in custom enclosures built to their specific semiarboreal requirements. A single adult sailfin dragon should have an enclosure measuring at least 5 feet long, 2.5 feet wide and 5 feet tall. Pairs or trios should have an enclosure with dimensions each extended by a few feet. The cage floor should not rot in high humidity.

It is crucial to have all sides visually blocked and a 1-foot-tall barrier across the front. Your dragon will feel more secure, and the cage will hold higher heat and humidity, which is important for proper growth and shedding.

Large branches of various diameters — nothing thinner than the girth of their bodies — should be placed horizontally and diagonally throughout the enclosure. Shelves built into the walls also make great additions. Make sure to leave some room on the ground for a large water basin, food bowl and also possible egg-laying site if you're keeping females."

i've seen worst rots than that. treatable pa yan mga 3 sheds lang sigurado okay na yan given treatment twice a day

That's good news indeed...
Nilipat ko muna sya sa temporary enclo nya, ang lakas nya kumain

dont forget to disinfect the mouth after feeding ah para mabilis matuyo at gumaling ung sugat sa bibig niya
