They don't look fungal to me, fortunately. They just seem very built up and thick, and discolored- but none of the typical malformation of the scale I usually would associate with fungal infection.

I really appreciate your advice! I will continue to do what I am doing and if it worsens AT ALL, I will get him to the vet. I know where he's at now that they will tell me to keep doing the same stuff and see if it helps.

I found some anti-fungal, anti-bacterial ointment floating around and we're giving it a try. I did notice the neosporin softened the dead stuff really well also and seemed to make it less miserable to remove.
