I posted this last summer how my Simi was coughing or sneezing. He was prescribed antibiotics. He seemed to perk up for the most part but never really seemed 100%. We took him in again last Tuesday. They drew blood and found his white cell count was elevated extremely. We are heartbroken once again since we lost Atlas our rescue beardie. I totally feel like we failed the poor thing.
So sorry to hear about Simi! So hard to lose a pet! Sounds like you did a lot to help these little guys. In humans, a high white cell count sounds like an infection..maybe the same for reptiles? I'm sorry that the vet wasn't able to save Simi!
