runny poop

kirkpatrick Apr 20, 2005 09:54 PM

One of my female leopard geckos took a poop, its weird because it clear and runny. the center looks kind of like the antibacterial soap you get from bath and body works. you know, the kind thats off white with dark colored scrubbing beads. Any ideas to if something is wrong?
thanks, Bari

Last time something like that happened to one of mine, she had pinworms.

Fenbendazole, I think, is the treatment med. Same as Panacur. Get it from your vet, they have to calculate the dosage based on weight. You medicate her once a week, for three weeks.

Give her some slurry too, while she recovers her strength and starts to hunt again.

BTW, have *ALL* your animals poopi checked too! Pinworms are extremely contagious. I could be wrong, but err on the safe side and disinfect your tanks tonight with 10% diluted bleach sol'n
