Hi all,
I have a beardie, she's about 2 years old. Otherwise healthy. Set up has been detailed in previous posts but I'm using a long viv with a t5 as well as a mercury bulb for basking. Diet is veggies (manly pak/bok choi staple) with morios, dubias and occasionally wax worms or fruit beetle grubs as a treat.
Recently she's been constipated, I've had to give her more baths than usual where she usually then poops in the water, but there's a lot of poop. Poops look healthy, just huge like she's had a lot backed up.
Recently when she pooped today I noticed a big mark on her cloaca that looks painful. It's not too noticeable but it does look like a patch that's concerning. It's more prominent after she's pooped.
Wondering if this is just due to constipation? I will take her to the vet for checkup very soon regardless, but is it an emergency?
