Runny poop-Parasites?

[mischa]

Mischa has been having runny and smelly poops the past few days. I have been feeding him silkworms for the past week and a half, also I fed him two pinkies about three days ago, Also he has been eating collard greens. Do you think he has a bacterial or parasitical infection?

Also he has not been acting stressed in anyway.

I was told by my vet that any clear liquid that comes out of the dragon is related to parasites. I have one more treatment on my parasite meds for Puff and he has stopped with the runny stool. Usually that is the 1st sign (runny stool) then as time goes on the parasites multiple and other symptoms show like not eating or eating less, no pooping and when they do there could be blood. Hope this helps.

Ok thank you.

Silk worms give them runny ( and Stinky!) Poo!

 

[mischa]

So do you think its the silkworms and nothing to worry about?

I am no vet so you really need to use your judgment..

But maybe try not feeding the silk worms for a few days and see if it clears up..

Although a vet check up wouldn't hurt either..

Yeah I was planning on taking him to the vet next week so yeah, and I'm pretty sure it is the silkies cause the runny poo didn't start till I started feeding them! :lol:

Sometimes runny poo just means that your beardie is very well hydrated but it may be best to take him in for a check up just to be sure.
