diarrhea???

[jodavis10]

Hi, I have a few concerns..... Loki has been eating tons of crickets this week, but really slowed down yesterday, was very lethargic this morning, and won't eat at all today. She seemed to perk up a bit, but she pooped a nasty diarrhea poop before and is now glass dancing like crazy! Is she sick, or did she just overeat?? Should I keep trying to feed her or wait until tomorrow??

Do her messes smell bad?

 

[jodavis10]

Yeah, I mean...they smell like poop!

LOL! :lol: Normal beardie mess does not smell (barely if at all) so I'm thinking it may be a sign of parasites I'd take a fecal sample to a vet.

That's what I was afraid if when I saw the diarrhea! There are only two vets near me so I'm hoping one is good with bearded dragons. If not ill still get the fecal done. Do you know how much this usually costs to treat. Money is a little tight because I just got her two weeks ago off of craigslist for $100, had to replace everything she came with because they had her setup completely wrong, bye bye another $200, not to mention the close to $100 in crickets she has consumed gaining her weight back!! Oh well, getting my girl comfy, healthy and fat will be worth it in the end! Lol

The check up, float, and meds cost me $100 here in Canada Worth it for a healthy animal though. The float it self is only about $25. I had to replace everything for my adopted adult. It sucks but I just think about the CRAZY amount of money people (myself included) spend on their dogs. Atleast with beardies the cost goes down when they become healthy adults
