As most others here will tell you, take it to a vet. Take the dragon if possible, but at least get a sample to the vet. If's it really runny, you may want to try to 'catch' it. With my dragon, I can usually tell when she's about to go, she'll be basking, then you can see her sort of posistion herself, and start 'flexing' her stomach muscles. If I want to take a sample in, I normally grab whatever I can find and hold it under her to catch it. This works well for me because my basking spot is set up in such away that it's very easy to catch. It you use one of those half logs (as I do in another cage) it may be a little more difficult. Just grab what you can and take it to a vet. A fecal usually only takes 15 mins or so. I normally just drop it off and then call later for the results.
