Hello, everyone! Looking for some help/advice.
Smauggie made poop this morning, and I noticed some red-orange stuff at the end of the white urate (or maybe that's the beginning? Not sure.) I've seen a little of it before from time to time, but not this much. It's more like a reddish-orange, with little lumps in it.
She's been eating Phoenix worms, and otherwise appears healthy and alert.
I called the vet, but they are booked until Tuesday. I asked if I could just bring the sample, since he didn't have time to see her, and he could at least look at/check the sample for now, but he said that it wouldn't do any good because he still needs to examine her. (Did I mention that I don't like this vet very much? And he's the only reptile vet within an hour's drive!)
So I'm looking for advice from y'all!
I hate to post pics of poop, but I don't know how to describe it properly, so here's some pics:
