The onus is on Petco at this point. That swelling could be a mite that has become engorged with blood underneath his scales or maybe a parasite that is encysted under the skin secondary to a mite. Maybe it's nothing but have Petco informed and use their vet services. Good luck.
    I never had thought of that, that must be a pretty big mite if that's the case. I know Petco will pay for vet care if we have concerns so that's a better idea than returning him all together. I don't know how severe his case was with mites was, but he was in the back over a month. I'm thankful they were honest with us about his history. Being so young would he be more susceptible to disease?
    hes still under the warranty so we shouldn't have an issue with getting vet care.
