loose stools

[minimomx2]

I have had Ozzie for a little over a week and his stools are still runny. At first I thought it was stress but now not so sure. He normally only goes in his bath but today he had a real runny stool in his enclosure and the smell is bad (is that normal) anyway he gets greens mix 2x daily and dubias in the evening and a few supers for breakfast. below is the first day and it has gotten worse.

It looks like he's passing some extra hydration which is fine. It's poop so it will smell bad but if it becomes clear the room smelly and continues to loosen further then it's probably worth taking a sample to the vet for analysis. The testing is usually quick and inexpensive. In the meantime, I'd get some probiotics like bene-bac or acidophiliz+ which may help his digestion and return everything to normal.

Would I get the probiodics at the pet store

Sometimes the pet store will carry bene-bac in the birds section. You want the birds/reptiles version rather than the dog version. Tracie also carries them on her site http://www.bug-de-lite.com/Products Page.html and they're usually available on Amazon.

Great thanks so much.

Nettles are great for digestion and some other veggies, try those! Might help out a little bit

I looked at your other posts. Ozzie is 16 inches I believe you said. I agree with CooperDragon about getting a fecal done, especially if the poop has gotten progressively worse from the picture you posted. Because of his size and age he will handle meds better than a really tiny dragon. Go ahead and start him on probiotics.

I checked Amazon and they have a powder and with prime I can get it Sunday. I thought powder would be easier

They sell acidophilus at Walmart, GNC, Vitamin Shop, some grocery stores.
