[QUOTE="clyde612, post: 2000067, member: 110538"] Hi all! I found a new vet for Clyde. I’ve been increasingly concerned about Clyde’s poops and the off-colored urinate (look like a small amount of blood). His poops aren’t terrible looking but last time this happened it just got worse and worse (more blood in urinate) and ended up being a parasite. Luckily this vet is taking my concern seriously and is also worried that there might be blood in Clyde’s stool/urinate. I’m still waiting on a result to see if they find red blood cells. Clyde had also been showing very lethargic behavior. He lays in his hide or log all day. Luckily he still has a good appetite but I have to physically get him out of bed and right in front of his bowl (and stir his salad) for him to eat. If I take him out he will explore a little but if I don’t do anything he will lay in a hide all day and not bask. The vet said that this fecal came back with no pinworm (last 2 before this one showed small amounts). She recommended a round of antibiotics to see if that clears up the stool as it is difficult to figure out what exactly is causing the runny stool with blood (and lethargy). I declined the antibiotic because I just wasn’t ready to commit to that treatment without and proof that he has an infection. I don’t want to put him through anything medically stressful unnecessarily and I don’t want to damage his immune system. She sent me home with a dewormer instead to see if clearing the small amount of pinworm helps at all. I took the dewormer with me but I’m not sure if I should give it to him. I will attach the previous two fecal samples that DID show pinworm. I don’t have the details from the latest sample yet. I’m not sure what I should do but here are what I feel my options are: 1. Do the dewormer and see if that fixes things. 2. Do another fecal sample to confirm pinworms, then do the dewormer. 3. Do a blood sample to check for infection and then do the antibiotic (if there is an infection). [/QUOTE]
