Nirvana needs help!

This is Nirvana, the Queen of our household. One of the most affectionate bearded dragons you will ever meet(not to mention the most spoiled). My three year old son, Aizen(who is allergic to dogs, cats and any other fuzzy creature)took a liking to her instantly. Finally! A pet that didn't make him break out into hives! Needless to say, she is a big part of our family. And a good portion of our hearts.

She spends her days free roaming the house like a puppy when let out of her tank, cozying up in bed for cuddles as she is obsessed with blankets or fabrics of any kind, and grumpily watching cars go by at our bedroom window. On a normal day her beard is a vibrant cheeto orange alongside phenomenal bright lavender patches on her back. This is a sign of a very happy lizard.

You can imagine then, our concern when we started noticing some yellowing on her belly scales. As well as rapidly appearing patches of what we believe to be scale rot. We immedietly began treatment, and started taking advice from veterinary technicians and zoology students - but Nirvana's condition is unfortunately not improving. In fact, it's very quickly depleting. She looks worse everyday.

This is heartbreaking as they are meant to live 10-15 years in captivity. She is only turning one.

Her first birthday will be October 16th 2016. You see, last year after doing research for months and having the proper equipment, terrarium and set up I got Nirvana as an early birthday present. My birthday is on the 26th of October. She was a 10 day early gift, and the only thing I wanted. My first pet and something I could love for so many years to come!

-- And now.. the greatest fear at the moment is that she may have yellow fungus. A disease that requires long-term treatment, and that she will have for the rest of her life. This means my dragon is in pain. She cannot fight this on her own without the proper medications from the vet. After calling many veterinary clinics here we totalled up the amount and it's going to be incredibly costly. A months worth of her medication could potentially come out to $206. She will not survive without some treatment. Regardless of all of this, even if she survives she will never be able to have a mate or reproduce as she will forever carry the disease. Her health can be stabalized, and pain can be vanquished entirely and that is our ultimate goal.

MY only hope to save my dearly loved and cherish dragon is to raise enough money to take her to the vet as soon as humanly possible. As you can imagine, lizards aren't the easiest to find a vet for and therefore are very pricey. So we are reaching out and asking for any help we can get. 

(On top of this, I am currently dealing with the local Pet Smart as we are nearly positive that this is due to their negligence on sanitation.)
