Can beardies have hemorrhoids?

[KittyKitty1]

KittyKitty is healthy acting in every respect. He's also "house trained" and does his potty jobs outdoors on regular outings. The last few times we've had him out, there were a couple of tiny drops of blood after he pottied. Not IN the potty, but on the grass. He strains when he has a BM, and it looks like the opening distends just a bit. Any info appreciated. :study:

It could be parasites, they have been known to cause bleeding when dragons poop.

Thanks for your answer, Gem - is a vet's visit suggested, or are there OTC things that might help? I also noticed you commented on a beardie's "clicking". What do they click with ... teeth? New one for me! Regards to all beardie lovers

Clicking is a sign of an URI(upper repository infection)

the sounds caused by crap in the lungs and in the wind pipe,
