With a decent rabbit hutch ro reason why they cant be outside 24/7

Can you build something outside??

Dangerous stuff when internet "experts" give advice on vet treatments. May I suggest contacting the local animal welfare shelter or SPCA ?? Maybe euthansisia is appropriatte instead of internet experimentation

how about taking it to the vet.........

As the wounds are not superficial they will require antibiotic treatment. Topical treatment will not have any effect on systemic infection and will likely result in septicemia. Can i suggest some pain relief , Metacam , a pain relief medication for cat and dogs has proven effective for turtles (prescription med from vet) Necrotic and infected tissue will develop and should be removed , with topical treatments applied ,this is often to painful and needs to be done under anesthetic as is generally needed with serious shell rot infections. If the owner is not willing to pay for treatment then they should as least pay to humanly euthanize the animal .

Hello, What species of dragon do you have? barbata or viticeps? I pressume it is outside? Dragons outside are beginning to slow and feed less. Captive diets should be decreased as not every day has optimal temps for feeding. Very soon feeding wont be required. Outdoor housing over winter for viticeps isnt reccommended due to moisture levels , viticeps prefer low humidity. High humidity and low temps can cause skin and respiratory infections . barbata can be wintered outside in the north of the north island, otherwise may be best to house indoors now and winter. Artificial heating that dosnt improve the ambient temp(eg. basking lamp) is of little use and animals allowed to brumate should be given a gradual decrease and increase in temps that the weather provides. Provide adequate shelter to protect from the elements . Many aust. dragons in New Zealand continue to bask on the best days of winter. hope this is of interest/helps

Funny no ones seen Whites tree frogs in ages, sounds a little dodge to me,
