So Torrin was put on panacur suspension 10% for chronic pinworm issues. He had been eating fine, a little groggy but I figured that may have been brumation, but didn't use the bathroom for 6 days, which is not normal for him.
Today (day 7) after his 3rd hot water soak he went. When he did he rocketed out this 2 inch long by almost 1/4 inch wide white mass I'm assuming is a urate crystal. He is on paper towel right now while we get his pinworms under control so i was worried it was paper towel but it was firm like a rock and broke in chunks.
My concern is just how firm it was, I believe that was the cause of his blockage. Is that normal for a beardie who hasn't went to the bathroom or could this be symptomatic of some kidney issues?
Little background with Torrin, he's almost 11 months. We're assuming male based on behaviors but the vet still hasn't been able to determine definitively. He's comes out regularly every day to run around and usually quite active. Diet is mostly greens and veggies, his protein comes from crickets, mealworms and the very occasional hornworm(usually one or two for the holidays depending on size)
