My lizard has some feces stuck in her anal area. Its like she tried to go and couldn't. This is the sick one, so I know something is wrong with her. She's probably not going to make it. Is there anything I can do for her to clear that up so that she is at least semi comfortable? Neither I nor the vet. think she has much chance of survival. I'm force feeding her a formula but I think clearing up her constipation would help a lot. I have tried warm baths, but this is the second day and it doesn't seem like it is doing much. The feces is still there.

Thanks.

Hi

What kind of substrat has she always been kept on?.
Does the stuff hanging from her vent look like bathroom stuff or is it pinkish in color?.

Sincerely, TLB

She is on that fake grass stuff.

The stuff at her vent is sort of yellow with a little light brown. It really looks like super dried up stuff, like what happens to the white part of lizard feces if it stays in the heat too long, it starts turning yellow. It mostly looks like normal poo, just light.

Hi

Try to get more liquids into her. It sounds like right know that she isn't taking in enough for her self. Try eye dropping some pedialite directly into her a couple times a day.
