Loose stool

[Whitenerj]

My 5 month old has been having loose stools for the last couple of weeks. They have been really runny with a lot of liquid and very stinky. The white urate looks like but the stool is wet with bits of Dubia roaches in it. Also when pooping in water she has a lot of gas.

At first I thought it was the silk worms I was feeding her and so I stopped. It didn't help so I cut out her mustard greens for one day and still the same.

She eats around 50 Dubia a day and a bowl of mustard greens dusted with calcium.

Her basking spot is 105-110 and I have a reptisun 10.0 24" bulb in her 40 gallon cage.

Also lately she has been sleeping under her basking spot which is a log. She usually sleeps in a tree.

Also 3-4 times this week she has pooped where she is sleeping. Not sure if it was in her sleep but when I get up and check on her sometimes she will be laying in her poop.

I have a vet appointment next week just in case and to have her checked out.

Your set up sounds great as far as your temps and UVB lighting. Her diet also sounds good and shouldn't be causing running poo constantly. And it sounds like she's basking well enough to be properly digesting food. I would definitely have her checked for parasites. Until her vet appointment just keep her well hyderated by offering drops of water 2-3x daily. It sounds like her appetite is still good if she's getting veggies and 50+ insects a day which is a very good sign. If it is indeed parasites no worries, it's very common for dragons to have them and can usually be treated very easily.
