If your reptile is unwell
Routine screening is mainly for reptiles without clinical signs. If your reptile is unwell, testing should be selected based on its signs, history and possible exposure. A veterinarian may need to assess the animal before testing.
Examples include breathing problems, neurological changes, marked lethargy, unusual mouth discharge, unexplained weight loss or other significant illness.
Contact your own reptile-experienced veterinarian for an assessment. This website cannot diagnose your animal or choose diagnostic tests for an unwell reptile.
