I'm panicking.
Dude pooped today, nothing unusual except for the fact he seemed to have a bit of trouble getting it out. As he was dragging his butt along I noticed the poop tear apart and he seemed to be dragging what at first appeared to be... bits of poop-covered sawdust?
I looked closer... and I see a -ton- of very small grains in his poop. It looked like (and is the size of)grits and were white/clear.
I've saved the poop in a small plastic baggy with a bit of water and plan to take it to a vet tomorrow for diagnosis, will the poop be alright till then?
Are these parasite eggs? D: If so, does anyone have any idea what they could be or have seen them before? I took a picture but can't find the cord to connect my camera to the computer.
Dude seems fine activity and appetite-wise. He still eats his green and was head bobbing at me seconds after he pooped. He -did- do one thing strange today. I took him out for a bit and when I went to put him back he puffed up at me in my hand. Dude has -never- puffed at me before.
