I have a 2 year old bearded dragon that has been unhealthy for a while now.For the past year I have taken her to 3 vets and a exotics specialists(which was refered to me by one of the vets because non of his treatments worked).My beardie is experiencing a poop problem, she poops about 3 times a month. I soak her for 30 min 3x a week.Her fecal is very loose(diarrea), very foul(airing out the house afterwards). Her appitite is good in that she eats her crickets and veggies and has good weight.As far as caging requirements I feel there is no problem there. I have read every book(sometimes 2 to 3 times), caresheet,magizine article, and have searched the web on beardies before purchasing the one I have now.I was curious if anyone has had a similiar problem or could refer me to a vet in the chicago area.Any info would help. thanks

That could be so many things. I do not know what dignostics have been done, what the results were or what treatments have been so it is hard to say.
There is a great reptile vet. in your area through

A smelly poop may indicate parasites. Have you done a fecal? What kind of diet does your Beardie have? How much does it eat. What are the cage temps? How long has it been this way?
