What kind of laxatives? Are you feeding anything with high water content: Squash, bell peppers, cucumbers, or horn worms?My bearded dragon has a bit of an off white urate. It is like a light cream color. Is this normal. His poop is also diarrhea, but the vet thinks that is from the laxatives he was having since he was just constipated. When I clean the poop, the extra liquid stains the paper towel light yellow. Is this a normal colored urate?
Is this his tank?This is the poop.
Yes. It is a little messy because he ran around all over his greens. But, I cleaned it. There is also the poop in the picture.Is this his tank?

Yes. Squash purée because ever since the ennema he had been picky with his food and it helps him eat. But I’m trying to get him off of it. He had laxalose, an ennema, and metoclopamideWhat kind of laxatives? Are you feeding anything with high water content: Squash, bell peppers, cucumbers, or horn worms?
Please please don’t let the vets give him anymore ennema, it’s been known to cause some issues. But this is probably from him taking so many laxativesYes.

Yes. I realized that after he got one. He stopped eating for a couple of days. He is much better now though. Any thoughts on the urate?Please please don’t let the vets give him anymore ennema, it’s been known to cause some issues. But this is probably from him taking so many laxatives
Probably from the squash. Try to lower that intake. A natural laxative is sweat potato’sYes. I realized that after he got one. He stopped eating for a couple of days. He is much better now though. Any thoughts on the urate?

Hello, his poop was much better yesterday. The colors were good. Today, his poop was in his food bowl. He ran all over it and smushed it. So, I don’t know how that one looked. He is still having diarrhea. The poops have been looking more formed, but with water around them still. He also has been going twice a day. I still need to take him off of the squash though.Hello,
How is your dragon doing today?
Yes, I agree, try using some sweet potato or squash, or even sugar free applesauce is always
helpful, too.
Supplements can also cause some discoloration too.

Ok. Thank you. Today he had no water with his stool. But, I didn’t see it when he first went so it might have. Also, he had no urate this time. However, he went 4 times yesterday. And, 3 of the 4 times were just very small urate a. Maybe he ran out? The poop was smaller. It was squishy though and we’ll formed.Hello,
That is an improvement then! So he made a mess, that is common! If his stools are still too watery,
you can definitely try reducing the squash to see if that helps out for him. He is well hydrated if there
is water around or with his stools.
