parasites?

iso Jul 22, 2005 07:02 PM

My female beardie has been passing very runny and very smelly stools the last month or so. At first I thought it was becasue we switched her to the pelletts and veggies (a bit more watery). Her and the male made the swtich at the same time. His stool is fine and "standard" smelling. Hers is not. More like a green poridge.

The only ting I can think of is parasites. I know they can cause this. Before i take a sample into the vet, is there any other "good" explanation?

and yes - i have them seperated. If she comes back positive ill have him tested as well.

It still could be the pellets and greens, sometimes it takes them a few weeks to adapt to a diet change.

I wouls still get a fecal run on her anyway since it is getting close to brumation time and you want to be sure it is not something else
