Today when I was bathing Hermes he passed a poop in the tub with a fair amount of blood. The quantity seemed on par like you pricked your finger with a pin and a small amount formed near the wound. Might not seem like a lot to a human, but for a small animal like beardies that seems like a lot to me. The poop itself was firm, with urates, so I don't think it's a parasite. I just had a fecal done just under a month ago for another issue, which the results came back negative. I thought his lethargy then was due to hibernation issues which, not a week later, he was super active, wanting out of his viv, running around. This last week he has just crashed. He didn't even approach the glass to be let out. He simply stayed in his hide and only at my interference has he come out of his cage.
He pooped two days ago, and I could have sworn I saw a dabble of pink as he was dragging himself away from his pile. But the carpet color threw it off so I thought it was the normal fluid that would be excreted upon pooping.
Does it sound like there could be a kidney problem?
Currently his viv is set up: Basking Spot: 101 Cool Side: 80
Reptisun 10 Tube (that I just replaced)
He gets a multi-vitamin once a week, calcium power dusted food 3 times.
Currently he's sitting on my chest, looking around, but his body just is so limp otherwise. And he occasionally compresses his sides like he's uncomfortable. :\
