You need to take her to the vet. She may need antibiotics to help clear it up.

Re: Help Me with My Dragon

If it is losing weight then you need to get her to a vet asap. There is nothing that I know of that you can do in the mean time to make it heal. If it is not eating, then you need to feed it some protein and veggie baby food via syringe.

Definitely recommend a vet asap. The sooner the better if she needs antibiotics.
