Is it passing white urates as well?

Are you providing more water or is it drinking more water than before?

Hi thanks for responding
He is passing stools with urates, mostly white but with a portion that is yellow tinged .usually just drinks in the morning have not noticed any change in habit

huh: well took cham and sample to vet .who thinks it may be a liver problem .he has had an injection of laurabolin and I have to keep up with the critical care formala and take him back in three weeks fingers crossed this sorts him out

Glad you took it to a vet...hope it will recover.
My computer was down for the last couple of days...so I couldn't come back with further information. I was thinking it might be some organ problem.

Thanks
would have got him their sooner if only the vet was closer its a 2 hour drive away and as I do not drive have to wait until someone can drive me and the drive it self stresses him out so do not like to do it unless totally necessary

We really need more reptile vets over here, suppose in an emergency it would have to be a cab .goodness knows how much that’s goona be, but has to be done
He has cost well over his "worth” already but I think he is worth every penny
Such a character would be devastated to lose him
