on a recent rescue. Large areas of scales on the tail started lifting and separating from the tissue below. There was a lot of fluid built up under the top layer of scales. Oral antibiotics and betadine or nolvasan soaks were not doing the job. We finally had to start using injected antibiotics and it's finally healing up. This lizard did lose some large areas of scales and skin and will carry some heavy scarring. I'm not diagnosing here, just saying that the conditions look similar. Maybe you can find a vet that will work with you on payments? In the meantime, some Betadine soaks certainly wouldn't hurt.
