Our bearded dragon has some blood in the white part of his stool it looks like his poop shoot is inflamed so i put some polysporen on it and it got a bit better, but i'm just wandering if there is anything else that we can do? I'm looking into getting a fecal done when we go to the vet next week with our uromastyx.

Hello,

Blood in the stool can be cause by several things. The most common reason is hookworms, or a heavy load of parasites usually. Also, having to strain to go to the bathroom if they are either constipated or suffering from low calcium will cause that. Dehydration can also contribute to problems as well.
A fecal will determine whether or not he has worms or parasites. When do you expect to get a fecal done on him?

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
