Stinky stool

[wilddanny88]

How stinky must stool be for it to be a symptom of internal parasites?

Im not positive how to answer because everyones sensitivity to smells is different, but from what I hear, when they have parasites its REALLY bad! Like, it makes you gag, that bad. My Norbert has been tested and came back negative for parasites and his stool still smells disgusting.

Hope that helps!

Alright, I guess the one I just cleaned up wasn't as bad as that! I think I just worry a little too much. :roll:

When in doubt, it can't hurt to just take a sample to your vet. Then at least you'll have peace of mind.

My boy has watery soft stool that can clear a room. I can tell when he poops even from the other side of the living room, just by smell alone. I'm pretty certain my boy has parasites. He see's a vet friday. I read if the smell can "clear a room" then you should have a stool sample tested.

 

[Katie007]

Yeah, I've heard that too.

Yep, and its a smell you won't forget, either.

One of my dragons had coccidia 15 yrs ago, and when I first kind of realized that Stella had it, it was because I recognized that same odor.
