I'm babysitting a BD for a friend. She eats like a hog anything placed in the dish. Problem watery loose fecal material. I've been babysitting for 10days with 6 to go while owner is out of town working. This is her second poop with the first not as bad but still same look. The owner takes the position not to worry about it but I think she has some issues. I've had (2) BD for 2 years, male & female any their poop never looked like this. She needs a vet appointment asap. Parasites and who know what else.
My vet says my (2) BD are healthy and it's a pleasure to examine healthy animals.
I would take her to the vet but just to walk in the door is $85 plus all the test needed for the proper medication knowing the owner is not willing to pay.
I have separated them completely, never placing them with one another since that first poop. My enclosures are properly maintained with correct lighting etc. (never had both BD sick the last (2) years), only yearly check ups. Male at @ 630 grams, female 523grams... vet says they're just big boned.
How do I convince owner his BD needs attention? Don't want her to die on my watch.
Thoughts on fecal material...

What are you feeding her? Like what bugs how many bugs what’s in your salad that you give her. Because this is NOT normal and needs to be checked out. If your feeding this beardie and it seems to be a lot smaller like underweight it’s a very good idea that she has parasites but it could be what your feeding her.
