Here is a picture of his rear leg. I just noticed this today, although I have noticed a dead scale there before in the past few weeks. I just didn't think anything of it.



By the way, what are some possible causes of this disease (if it is a fungal infection)?



I will make a vet appointment in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately I don't think I have time this week, I have finals to study for, and I'll be out of town the week after. I hope he'll be fine...
