Fortunately yesterday she poo'd. Unfortunately her urate was very long and hard as chalk and the poo itself was very runny and SUPER stinky. I don't think she's dehydrated, I've been having her drink frequently. Any idea why it would be so hard? Too much calcium/vitamins?
She also has lost ~20g since the 7th, but her fat pads are looking good and she's still alert and not black bearding. Her tummy just looks really wrinkly and distended now.
I'm thinking a mild case of parasites based on her poo. Poor girl. But it's definitely possible her poo was just really nasty because of the slurries and long time without going instead of parasites, so if it continues being that loose and smelly I'll get a fecal. I'm not sure where she would be getting parasites from though. She's the only lizard I have, I don't take her outside, and I keep her enclosure clean. I have a healthy 4 year old dubia colony with a buffalo beetle clean up crew that I started from Dubi Deli's roaches. Could they be carrying parasites?
