When I looked at the situation more closely, I don't think that Spikewing could have gotten that sick because of just one eel or allergies. I think the culprit is the dragon colic. Unlike human colic, dragon colic, an inflammation of the colon, is caused by bacteria, is mainly found in older dragons, and can spread from dragon to dragon. He most likely got it from Toothless, since dragons tend to form tight friendships mimicking the ones of their human owners and Night Furies are immune to the dragon colic. To solve the dragon colic, soak chamomile flowers in hot water, wait a few hours, take the flowers out of the water, and feed the chamomile water to Spikewing. He'll be feeling better in no time. - Smokeydawg :-)
