You're welcome , it's good to laugh about these things, especially something that only a dragon owner would understand. : D
And yeah, I can see that tactic to try to rule out any parasites. Hopefully your dragon is not ADV positive but if he is there are ones that survive with it .
Do you know what I should be expecting if it comes back positive? Like treatments, how to know if there’s still quality of life, and lifespan? On one hand I’m gonna be sad my little buddy Duke isn’t gonna be around for as long as he should have been but I feel accepting of whatever challenges come next.
This forum is fortunate to have Tracie [ Drache613 ] as a mod. here. She works with the lab that is looking for a cure for ADV and can offer you the best advice. The lab also tests for a very low price if you want to go through them. Either way, contact Tracie who can offer the best advice if by chance Duke has ADV. It's not necessarily a death sentence or a life of ill health.
