So my Dragon is 1 year and 2 months old. I took my Dragon to the Vet because on Monday I noticed his tail was darker than the rest of his tail. He's always had a nip on it from another dragon when he was a baby. He's the only Dragon or reptile in the house, he's never been hurt by any of my other animals. He hasn't had an injury recently to the tail, my dad and I were talking about how long it's been since he's had a FULL body shed. He has shed in the past but not the tip of that tail, his diet has consisted of Superworms and greens. It's difficult to know if he's actually eaten them or just slapped them around with his tail sometimes. So we got the fecal done, everything looked okay. We got him fully checked by the vet I've seen since he was a baby. We also got his blood work done to be on the safe side and today I got a call from the Vet herself. So I know it couldn't be good news, but there is about as much uncertainty as there was when It took Nefarian to the vet. She says the white blood cells are up, and when this happens it can indicate a Parasite. She believes there is either a Parasite, that is non blood. Something difficult to see maybe, or it could be an infection inside the tail itself. Says it doesn't look fungal to her, but sometimes these things can be hard to tell. She said she doesn't want to treat with antibiotics but would be okay with it if I wanted to. I said no because we don't know what's going on yet. I don't know what to do, I'm going to post pictures on here of his tail.
