undigested food

JAG Jun 23, 2003 04:05 PM

Is it normal for a leo to have undigested food when she uses the restroom?

Undigested food usually isnt feces and is more than likely vomit.

Either way is this bad? I doenst really look like vomit though. Its tightly wrapped together! Please help.

Well, I guess you've never seen leo vomit then. It is sorta like a bundle of undigested food. Just like you said, wrapped together and undigested. It can be a bad thing or it could just mean that she ate too much. Keep an eye on her and if it happens again you might want to talk to the vet.

She does not have access to enough heat that would allow her to fully digest her meals...raise the temp on your rheostat or thermostat (if you have a heat pad, this should fix the problem).
