Yellow Granular Stuff on Urate (Graphic Poop Pic)

Of course he didn't poop today! Little brat. :lol:

But of course...he's gotta follow protocol. :wink:

LOL :lol:

Bob pooped for me today and I had the joyful experience of poking around in his poop trying to figure out what's going on. The granular stuff is confined to the urate only - there was none at all in the actual poop. It is on the outside of the urate and also embedded in the middle. This leads me to believe that it probably is excess calcium, so I'm going to cut back on his supplementation schedule and see if it changes. I can't afford a fecal for him until next payday, but I'll be taking in a sample as soon as I get paid.

Pippin gets this from time to time as well. It was actually in his urate today.

I have a picture! :lol:

 

[Jasper's Mom]

Yes, that's exactly the same! I guess it must just be extra calcium. What a relief!

I wonder how many of us have an entire folder of pictures of beardie poop... :lol:

You can count me in for that one...maybe two folders. :lol:

That last poop pic you posted looked just like Piggy's did only she had a tad less of the yellow.

Hello,

I think that it is excess calcium related also. Try backing down a little bit on the calcium & increase some oral fluids to help soften up those urates.
