Urgent Poop Question

Triad Nov 13, 2004 12:33 PM

Yesterday Draco, my brothers bearded, had a runny type poop. It wasn't in a big glob (normal poop, I just refer to it as a BIG GLOB) and it was runny sort of like Diarrhea.

She's in shed and the previous day she ate green beans, green peas, some fluker pellets, endive and escarole. I think maybe it is caused by the green peas and beans.

Can someone tell me if this is normal occassionally or not? Yesterday was the first time she has ever done anything like that.

If her diet has changed, then lose stools isn't uncommon. If the runny poo didn't have a horrendous stench with it, then I wouldn't worry. Give her a few more days and see if her poo returns to normal. If not or if she is acting lathartic without her usual energy, then I would take her to a vet.

Thanks.

Draco is one of the lazier reptiles. She's laid back, but energetic when she wants to be (normal). But when she starts shedding, she gets lazy again. Then after the shed she'll get energetic for about 2 days and then get back to normal lazy/energetic. Normally lazy in the morning and late evening and energetic as heck in the afternoon and day time.

It didn't stink any worse then her normal poop does (whoever says bd poop doesn't smell must not have good sinuses.).
