Our bearded dragon has some blood in the white part of his stool it looks like his poop shoot is inflamed so i put some polysporen on it and it got a bit better, but i'm just wandering if there is anything else that we can do? I'm looking into getting a fecal done when we go to the vet next week with our uromastyx.
Blood in the stool can be cause by several things. The most common reason is hookworms, or a heavy load of parasites usually. Also, having to strain to go to the bathroom if they are either constipated or suffering from low calcium will cause that. Dehydration can also contribute to problems as well.
A fecal will determine whether or not he has worms or parasites. When do you expect to get a fecal done on him?
im hoping to get it done on monday, i need to do a trip to the vet for our other reptile so i figure i will kill to birds with one stone. do you know the best way to collect a fecal?
