Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum and have only just joined it.
I have had an female Indian Star for 10 years now but a couple of weeks ago I noticed the scutes on her belly where becoming loose, you could put your nail under it etc. When I took her to the vet he broke off the loose scutes and advised that loose scutes should be broken off as if stuff gets stuck underneath them it could lead to infection. I have also been applying diluted tamodine to the effected area. However today I have noticed more loose scutes in the same area - I broke them off but I am unsure what to do and how to avoid this continuing to happen. I have attached images of the affected area. Please help.
