Just got home from work and there are about 12 urate spots on Ernie's paper towel. Really small like if you were to use chalk on sidewalk - just a bunch of small smears. Should I be worried? Do I need to call the vet and go in?
Hi Szu....I can't remember if Ernie is a m/f ? Sometimes females do that when they are near egg laying time. Other than that it might just be a one time thing or maybe a few days of an " off" poo which may not be anything. If it persists for days then you might want to schedule an appt. If Ernie is a girl, has she laid eggs before ?
O.K, just see how he does the next few days, it may just be a slight abnormal poo. If he is impacted you can always offer baby food squash, prunes or canned pumpkin with about 1/4 tsp. of veg.oil.
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
