[nocontextlizard]

My bearded dragons poop is really runny and today her urate looked darker than normal. I’m really concerned but the vet said they can’t get me in for an emergency. Please help

When is your vet appt? They usually want 24 sample- what are you feeding for worms? The poop looks like it almost had undigested worms or their outer shell- what are your basking temps and how are you taking them ?

Basking temp is usually 98-105 degrees. What do you mean how am I taking them?

No stick ons please-- you want a digital probe thermometer- they are the most accurate

That's what I am seeing - how old is the dragon? I recommend no meal worms- till they are close to a year or older- mealworms exoskeleton is too harsh on younger ones stomachs- super worms should be fed every other day or couple - and I would only feed 1-3 then

Is that a stick on ? Does it have a probe on it?

Yes! It has two probes. I made sure with vet it was the right one and ditched the sticks ons months ago!

Ok good deal- so I would cut the meal worms out---watch the poop the next few days- see if it gets better- are you feeding salads?

Yes. Going to also cut out fruit for a few days and see if the watery-ness goes down. I think she possibly has too many options!
