[QUOTE="J4ckdaw-, post: 2025374, member: 117954"] Hi there, recently there has been cause for concern regarding my poor bearded dragon and his stool. For reference, he is a 4 month old confirmed male and is eating around 20-25 calcium and D3 dusted crickets and 10-15 undusted bsfl daily and occasionally touching his salads (made up of collard greens and spaghetti squash). He had a stable bathroom schedule of once or twice a day, usually when I am not home. One night, 2 maybe 3 days ago, I had him out of his enclosure for a bit before he decided that there would be a great time and place to pass stool. The only off thing about this was that it was diarrhea! He was tested negative for parasitic infections roughly a month ago and hasn't had many issues since, the odd thing is after that night he kept on having ordinary stool but with each one he lost a few grams of weight. This has happened repeatedly, the most he'd ever lost from one poop was 5 grams which was about a day ago. I was able to bring him back up to a safe 70 grams but I am concerned about what could occur in the future, he is also losing a lot of fluids when he poops leaving him quite dehydrated. This is happening daily at this point and I am growing concerned, every day he is becoming dehydrated and everyday I have to rehydrate him... I've been doing emergency baths, offering water on the tip of his nose, offered him a bit of fruit juice on his snout mixed with ordinary water to entice him, offered him seedless watermelon and even put his water bowl back in! None of these are working in the long term! Is this cause for a vet visit or is it something I can resolve myself, I am not in the economical position right now to blow a bunch of money but if he needs a visit I can do it. [/QUOTE]
