I agree with FR for sure. I think it was sensible to avoid the anesthetic needed to take the samples at first, but now is the time to call the vet back and schedule it. This will help with the treatment, and getting it on the right antibiotic. Other tests may also show if it's not an infection (while the monitor's out, you might as well take blood and X-rays as well). All in all, unless it's some freak genetic or tumour thing, and is indeed an infection, then trouble shooting your husbandry is #1 priority.


Good luck
