Hi All - hoping everyone is doing ok with Covid-19 and taking care of themselves.
I have a little situation with my rescue Nona - she's doing quite well actually, she's very very active - running around the house, she knows where the heat lamps are and goes to them, just like Kevin. She's bright eyes, and not acting weird in any way. However, she seems to be having a problem with poo-ing, or at least it looks like it. The other day she looked like she was straining, and she passed a urate but barely any poo. Since then, she hasn't really been hungry like usual. Turns her nose up at everything. I have soaked her, massaged her belly, given her Repashy beardie buffet (very watered down, mixed with baby food) she does eat that readily if I syringe feed her - she has done a couple of small poo's but mainly a urate. I took her to the herpetologist I got her from and he felt her belly, (also checking for eggs - thank goodness none) he said he could feel a poo in there and if I keep soaking and massaging and giving her the syringe mixture, she should pass it. She has reptile carpet in her viv and a sand pit (its walnut, not sand) plays in, but doesn't eat in, so she shouldn't be impacted with sand.
Any other ideas would be great.
Granted she is a fluffy girl, so she could lose a few, but I don't want her to be uncomfortable.
Thanks!
