How do I get a stool sample if there's no poop?????

chrismnc · Jan 4, 2010

I want to bring in a stool sample just to be sure that Zig is parasite free still (last one done in July/August) but since he isn't eating much, there's no poop!!! Do I bring him in then?

Also, do I have to give him baths if he drinks well from a dropper? I've been doing both.

If you cannot get a stool sample, the vet should be able to get one manually from your beardie.
If he enjoys his baths... I would keep doing both the oral hyrdration and the soaks

Yeah, I'd bring him in. When was the last time the poor guy pooped?

And keep on the baths, unless you don't have tiem. It's a good excuse for bonding time. ;]

He has had tiny poops but they are usually dried before I see them (pooped near basking spot). Then he did have a small poop the other day but my daughter flushed it before I even knew about it. I'll continue with baths. He likes them, I guess. I will inform the poop watchers not to flush any more poops. Can I use a tiny one if it gets dried?

Thanks!!!
