water dragon parasites

Question
My water dragon has been sick for 3 days. He lost some weight and as not been active. After a luke-warm bath, we isolated him from our other water dragon in a sterilized tank and gave him mineral oil with water. This morning I noticed there is blood in his feces. Do you have any ideas on what parasite he may have and how much the vet bill would be?

Answer
Hello Christine, you need to take him to the vet it may be parasites or something more serious. I have not had personal experience with this and the vet bill for the check but it can range from $30-$100 depending on type of parasite and the medication.

Good luck, let me know how it goes
