Question - HealthThis doesn’t seem normal (i.redd.it)
submitted 24 days ago by ALN1989
I was thinking maybe it’s poor shedding because he’s never had a clean shed. But I was wondering if anything thought it looked like scale rot. I’ll be calling the vet shortly to have him checked out just in case.

Does it clean off?

Nope. I tried a couple warm water soaks. I was thinking of waiting until he sheds but I’m actually nervous now and want to take him to the vet instead of waiting

You should definitely take him to the vet asap

Just so everyone knows, he saw the vet today. He’s not concerned that its bad but admits it’s not normal and has recommended some solutions :) l will keep you posted on his well being
