A CBC at that time revealed moderate leukocytosis (20.0 × 10 3 WBCs/μL reference range, 1 1.45 × 10 3 to 19.0 × 10 3 WBCs/μL) characterized by mild heterophilia (7.8 × 10 3 heterophils/μL reference range, 1 0.24 × 10 3 to 7.77 × 10 3 heterophils/μL), marked monocytosis (8.8 × 10 3 monocytes/μL reference range, 1 0.03 × 10 3 to 1.39 × 10 3 monocytes/μL), and a normal lymphocyte count (3.2 × 10 3 lymphocytes/μL reference range, 1 0.29 × 10 3 to 11.3 × 10 3 lymphocytes/μL).
Two weeks prior to this examination, the patient had been evaluated by the referring veterinarian because of mucoid green ocular discharge, conjunctivitis, and blepharospasm. A 3-year-old 0.554-kg (1.22-lb) female bearded dragon ( Pogona vitticeps bearded dragon 1) was examined by the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine's Exotic Animal Medicine Service because of a persistent left ocular discharge.
