So about 4 or days ago, my bearded dragon, Norbert, was diagnosed with Fatty Liver disease, and the vet prescribed him 1 tablespoon of carnivore care a day, spreading it out to about 4 to 5 feedings a day, for a "few" days.
Before this all happened, I never noticed anything strange about his poop, but recently with him only getting syringe fed watered-down carni-care, his poop has gotten super watery and somewhat misshapen. (It seems like mostly normal poop with a lot of liquid around it)
The vet said he was in good body condition, weight, etc
Is the poop only watery because of the extra water he's ingesting or is something wrong?
He is in a 75-gallon tank, with 2 150 watt spot lamp bulbs, he has a reptisun 10.0 fluorescent bulb across the inside of his tank, the hot part of his tank is normally in the high 90's to 100 (although late at night it seems to be getting too hot, so I've started to turn off one which helps), he gets a plate of turnip or mustard greens a day normally (but not recently since I've only been supposed to feed him carnivore care).
I think he got fatty liver because we used to buy him these Flukers red reptile pellets that were all he would eat. he would pick them out of his salad on purpose. I think it may also be from him getting too overheated at night with his blanket over his heating pad.
What are some signs I can look for his recovery?
