Spock has had diarrhea for 2 days, my vet can't see him until Monday, and they won't do a fecal cytology until the vet sees him. Is there anything I can do over the weekend to try and help? The poo is very runny, not formed other than the white urates. You can see undigested roaches and greens in it.
Here's the run down on him. (well we think it's a him)
We got him in May, so he's about 8-9 months old or so.
Typical activity, not acting lethargic or anything. We just weighed him on the 9th and he was 105gm (12 inches long), weighed him today and he's 115gms so he's not losing weight (which I wouldn't expect just yet since it's only been a couple days)
He's in a 40G breeder, with a 24" UVB reptisun 10.0 tube (mounted inside the tank) the bulb was purchased about a month ago.
He has a 150 heat bulb hanging above the tank and temps on the basking spot read between 95 and 112º (taken with a temp gun). The cool side probe thermometer reads 77º
His substrate is normally tiles, but we have paper towel in there now to make clean up easier.
His diet consists of a salad of mustard/collard greens with some type of squash each morning (of which he's eating a lot more than he used to but not tons. Maybe a couple table spoons worth tops) His protein source is dubia roaches (we still have the small size so they are all under 1/2") He usually eats 60-100 per feeding of 15 minutes and we offer 2 of those feedings a day. One roach feeding a day is dusted on M-T-Th-Fr-Sa with rep-cal calcium with D3 and then on Su and Wed we dust with rep-cal herptivite multivitamin.
Lastly he gets a bath every other day for 20 minutes at least, we try to get one in every day though.
