Green, runny poop?

[Mirandor]

I'm having a poop problem with Mohinder. He's had runny, smelly stool before, but never like this. This was really runny and green and smelled really terrible. I stored it and I scheduled an appointment with the vet on Thursday, but does anyone know what I might be dealing with here? I haven't heard of poop like this before, and I wanted to know if anyone had dealt with whatever might be causing it before.

He's eating salads made of yellow squash, zucchini, collard greens, and sometimes bell pepper or carrots or kale mixed in. He's been eating crickets and phoenix worms, and I think this might be coming from the crickets. A lot where DOA whenever I ordered them, and since they haven't been doing so great so I've been relying on the phoenix worms mostly, but he's still eaten quite a few of the crickets.

Anyone know what I should be expecting to hear from the vet and how it might be treated?

It sounds like parasites, if so the vet will give you a wormer. You'll want to bring the freshest sample you can. Depending on the parasite being treated there are a few medications they use, but most are classified as antibiotics. You will want to make sure you keep Mohinder hydrated and give him some probiotics while he is being treated. There are commercial probiotics (benebac, reptoboost and Acidophiliz+ come to mind) and if you can't find those non-dairy yogurt w/ active cultures. You might be able to get a probiotic from the vet.

Another thing it could be (but less likely since you say is smells terrible, which is usually a symptom of parasites) is his food. Some dragons have diarrhea from some foods.

My Kadaj had some downright stinky, runny, green poo. He has Coccidia and Round Worms I hope your little one gets better. Always beware if it could make a skunk run. Its best to get a fecal done if there is a foul odor before ruling out something not agreeing with beardie. Though a mildly unpleasent green poo of normal consistency is a result from eating greens.

I took him to the vet today. They didn't get a chance to do a fecal, but will whenever I can get a fresh stool sample to them hopefully on Monday. They did a physical exam and everything was a-okay there and they put him on two different antibiotics until his stool can get checked out. The vet was thinking some sort of parasite, or maybe a bacterial infection of some sort. Won't really know until I'm able to get that stool sample in to them ASAP.

This was his first trip to the vet and he was so angry about it. He pouted after getting prodded and his heart beat read. He's super angsty about the whole ordeal
